143 Rescued From Rising Floodwater At Louisville Apartment

Friday’s torrential rains flooded Donna Whitehouse out of her Okolona apartment for the third time in two decades. The 54-year-old woman had just put away groceries she’d bought for Easter dinner when she noticed water coming in under her door. She forgot about the carrot cake and ham to feed her children and grandchildren, grabbed three plastic bags and filled them with spare clothes and medicine, and with her son, unplugged electronics and headed to the building’s second floor to await rescuers.
