Gov. Andy Beshear said Wednesday that there are now 11 confirmed deaths as a result of the winter storm that struck over the weekend.
According to the governor, the deaths occurred in Whitley, Morgan, Graves, Daviess, Pulaski, Owen, Livingston, and Jefferson counties, along with three in Johnson County.
“We are praying for all of these families during this difficult time,” Beshear said. “We are also opening the Team Kentucky Storm Relief Fund, where will offer to pay $10,000 apiece for each of these funerals. We don’t want these families to have to wait for reimbursement from FEMA. We will be reaching out to these families directly.”…
