Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Thursday, February 20, 2025. We're starting off with some critical news about the recent flooding in our area. Appalachian Regional Health is holding a telethon today to raise money and supplies for recovery efforts benefiting thousands of Kentuckians impacted by the flooding. The ARH Flood Relief Telethon will run from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. at WKYT-TV offices at 251 Winchester Road in Lexington and its sister station WYMT in Hazard. You can donate cash online or drop off essential emergency supplies at designated locations, including the ARH System Center in Lexington and the ARH Disaster Relief Center in Hazard[1].
Moving on to weather, we've seen quite a mix in the past few days. Heavy rains led to devastating floods, followed by heavy snow that made travel conditions hazardous. Today, we're expecting patchy rain with temperatures ranging from 6 degrees to -2 degrees Celsius. It's a good idea to check the latest forecast before heading out[3].
In other news, our city is still recovering from the recent snow and flooding. Videos from around Lexington show the challenging conditions, with blowing snow causing wrecks and dangerous roads[5]. We urge everyone to be cautious and follow safety guidelines.
On a more positive note, we want to highlight the community's resilience and support. The telethon today is a great example of how we come together in times of need. We also want to mention that despite the challenges, local businesses and organizations are working hard to provide relief and support.
Looking ahead, there are several community events planned for the next few days. We encourage you to check local listings for more information. In sports, we'll be keeping an eye on local school achievements and sports results, so stay tuned for updates.
In terms of new business activity, we're seeing a mix of openings and closures. We'll provide more details as they become available. For now, we want to remind everyone that the ARH Flood Relief Telethon is a significant event that can make a real difference in our community.
Before we wrap up, we want to mention that our local schools are doing their best to support students affected by the flooding. We'll have more on this in the coming days.
This has been Lexington Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
