WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell made the following remarks Tuesday on the Senate floor regarding the severe storm and flooding in Louisville, Kentucky:
“Mr. President, I wanted to make some observation about a severe storm that hit my hometown today. It dumped six inches of rain in 75 minutes in Louisville causing major flooding and trapping people in their cars and neighborhoods.
“The Louisville Police and Fire & Rescue have been working nonstop since early this morning to assist those in need and I want to commend them for their courageous and outstanding work that they have been performing throughout the day.
“Not surprisingly, I have heard from a number of my constituents, and I appreciate very much their calls to keep me informed on the latest developments. I will continue to monitor the situation back home and in the meantime, my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Louisville today.”
