Congressman Hal Rogers released the following statement today, regarding the deadly
storms that swept across Kentucky March 2, 2012:
"Our region has suffered catastrophic loss from the deadly storms that swept across
the state over the last two days. My staff and I have been in contact with the
Governor's office, FEMA and Kentucky emergency management officials, along with
local first responders and volunteers. I commend all of our dedicated emergency
response teams and the Kentucky National Guard who have been diligently working to
save lives and provide immediate assistance. The people of Southern and Eastern
Kentucky are always resilient, and now it is time to pray and band together once
more. Cynthia and I send our deepest sympathies to those who have lost loved ones
and we offer our prayers for peace and strength across the region."
--Congressman Rogers
