| Episode Narrative | Widespread heavy rainfall from 8 to 14 inches occurred during the last week of April. At the Paducah airport, a total of 11.11 inches fell from April 22-30. A trained spotter at Central City in Muhlenberg County measured a five-day total of 9.80 inches, which was representative of other places around western Kentucky. This excessive rainfall caused most creeks and small streams to flood for an extended period of time. Numerous roads were flooded and closed, including some major state roads. Some schools delayed or cancelled classes due to the large number of flooded roads. Some of the smaller rivers that flooded included the Tradewater River at Dawson Springs and the Little River near Cadiz and Hopkinsville. Roads were closed near each river. Few homes were affected by flooding of the smaller creeks and streams. Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake rose rapidly toward record levels at the end of the month. Both lakes reached a pool stage of 369 feet by the end of the month, which was very similar to the crest in May of 2010. However, both lakes would continue to rise into early May. Lakeshore flooding caused the closure of recreational facilities and roads, including portions of the Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area. |
