                           Kentucky Flooding

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, yesterday, communities across my home 
State endured another spate of heavy rains. Flash flooding was 
especially severe in Western Kentucky, where residents are still 
rebuilding after tornadoes pummeled the region just 19 months ago.
  First responders have been moving quickly to rescue and evacuate 
those impacted, and I understand that so far, there are no reported 
injuries or deaths. I am thankful for the heroic work to keep 
Kentuckians safe.
  My team is in touch with State and local officials to help however we 
can, and later today, I will speak with the mayor of Mayfield to get an 
update on the situation in her community.
  Elaine and I continue to pray for the safety of West Kentuckians as 
they recover and rebuild in this time of need.
