LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky was one of several U.S. states in the Southeast that felt the the affects of Hurricane Helene last week.
Counties across the Bluegrass State were pelted with rain for several days. Some areas received as little as one inch of precipitation, but others saw over seven inches.
From Sept. 26-30, Kentucky's capitol of Frankfort received about four inches of rain. Louisville saw 4.44 inches and Lexington's rainfall total was 4.03, according to the NWS - Louisville.
The county that got hit by the most rain during Hurricane Helene was Harlan County, which is located in southeastern Kentucky and borders Virginia. Harlan County received an estimated 7.62 inches of rain over five days.
Marshall County also saw a considerable amount of rain in southwestern Kentucky near the Tennessee border. It received about 6.15 inches of rain.
The areas of Kentucky that saw the least rain were in east central Kentucky. This was due to a downslope of wind coming off of the Appalachians.
NWS Louisville officials said this phenomenon is rare but can happen in "remnant low situations."
