Fleets of trailers are descending on the Appalachian region — some brought in from western Kentucky, where they served a similar purpose for people who lost homes when tornadoes hit in December.
In eastern Kentucky, about 300 people have moved into 100 trailers at various sites, with more on the way or being prepared onsite for people still waiting, Beshear said. Area state parks are still housing more than 340 people left homeless by the flooding.“Getting the trailers is not our challenge,” the Democratic governor said. “It's safe places to hook them up. It's the electric; it's the utilities. And we continue to search for more.
But some occupants expect to spend the coming holidays and at least part of 2023 in the trailers. They're grateful for the temporary lodging but long for something more settled. “I wish I had internet and phone service,” Perkins said. “That's really the biggest problem with being over here. You're isolated. And people want that when they come over here , but they don't necessarily want that when they have to live here.”
