Kentucky Remains In Drought Following Rains
Before Wednesday's rains, 25 fires in Kentucky had burned nearly 300, mainly in the Red River Gorge area. Some sections received nearly an inch of rain, and , even though it was not a significant amount, it gave firefighters a much needed rest.
Most of them had been working for over a week. The National Weather Service says, although the rains may have helped with forest fires, parts of the state remain in a severe drought and it is expected to stay that way into December.
They say the state needs one or two rains a week for several months to end the drought situation.
