We took to the skies Friday afternoon with the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office to get a bird’s-eye view of the widespread flooding in western Daviess County. The view was stunning — but also sobering. Some homes are completely surrounded, roads are gone, and entire neighborhoods are cut off.

We lifted off from English Park, followed the bend of the Ohio River, crossed over Stanley, Birk City, and Curdsville, and made it all the way to the western edge of Daviess County.
On the way back, we flew over parts of the Green River and looped past the Owensboro Bridge.
It may have felt like an adventure in the air, but on the ground, this is a serious situation. Please don’t ignore road closures or take chances in high water. First responders are out here working hard to keep everyone safe.
