Transcript Robotic Voice You're listening to Demand and Disrupt, the podcast for information about accessibility, advocacy, and all things disability. Kimberly Parsley Welcome to Demand and Disrupt, a disability podcast. I'm your host, Kimberly Parsley. Sam Moore And I'm your co-host, Sam Moore, here in Henderson, while Kimberly is in Bowling Green. How are you, dear? Kimberly Parsley I am doing very well, Sam. How are things going in Henderson? Sam Moore Oh, we're thawing out slowly, but surely we like pretty much everybody else in the Commonwealth of Kentucky is dealing with some, the aftermath of another snowfall. Kimberly Parsley It has been a very interesting couple of weeks weather-wise here in Kentucky, hasn't it? Sam Moore It sure has, because before this snow, which for me was about four inches, and I know for you was about four inches, prior to that, we were dealing with flooding. Kimberly Parsley We were dealing with flooding, and I think we want to send our thoughts and prayers and heartfelt wishes out to, I think it's 15 people so far in Kentucky have lost their lives from the floods that were just horrific in so many places. So our thoughts are with those family members. Sam Moore Most of those fatalities, if not all of them, were in the eastern part of the state. Kimberly Parsley It was, the poor Eastern Kentucky. I mean, they just keep getting battered, don't they? Sam Moore They just can't dodge a bullet because I know just a few years ago, 2022, I believe it was, they had the big flooding. Kimberly Parsley The big flooding, and then I think they got even some with Hurricane Helene, right? Sam Moore Oh, yeah, because, you know, a lot of the mountainous areas like in western North Carolina and East Tennessee got that. And I think the far eastern part of Kentucky was a part of it as well. Kimberly Parsley Yeah. And then now hit again. So our thoughts are certainly with those people. Sam Moore We hope that Demand and Disrupt brings you good therapy while you're... while you're trying to recover. Kimberly Parsley I hope people can listen and I hope things are improving for people in those affected areas. And here I live in, of course, Bowling Green, not, you know, flash flooding can happen anywhere. Sam Moore Sure. Kimberly Parsley So that's an issue. Right here in my little part of the state here in Bowling Green, I don't have any kind of aerial flooding where I am. What about you? Sam Moore Aerial flooding, you know, obviously depends on where you are. Where I'm sitting in this happy little corner of Henderson, it's not a huge deal, but, you know, it can occasionally happen. And one thing I know from having been a college student in Bowling Green for, I guess, six years counting grad school, you know, you can go weeks, even months without anything huge happening weather-wise, but when it rains, it pours. Kimberly Parsley That is true. They used to say they called it the Bowling Green effect. Like storms and stuff would just go around Bowling Green. Sam Moore It's almost like a black hole effect. Kimberly Parsley Something like that. Yeah. But I think that. Those days have passed, sadly. Those days have passed. [laughter] So my house sits on, the side of the road my house is on. Things don't flood because it's kind of up a little bit. But on the other side of the road, there's a sinkhole situation. And a couple of the houses just across the road did, like, the water got up to the foundations of the house. Sam Moore Oh, that's always dangerous. Kimberly Parsley Yes, yeah. Sam Moore Just goes to show there are more sinkholes in Bowling Green than just the famous one that emerged in the floor of the Corvette Museum in 2013. Kimberly Parsley The Corvette Museum. Yes. Oh, was that that long ago? I didn't realize it was that long ago. Sam Moore Yeah, I was in grad school at the time, and yeah, I'll never forget. It was 2013, and that was all I heard about. Kimberly Parsley Wow. Sam Moore From, of course, WBKO, the local media, because thankfully it emerged at like 5.30 in the morning when nobody was there. Kimberly Parsley Right, right. Just the fancy car. Sam Moore There was some car damage, ...
