Record-breaking cold temperatures and heavy snowfall are sweeping across the United States as a polar vortex grips large parts of the country. This severe weather is posing a significant challenge to recovery efforts in Kentucky, which was hit by devastating floods over the weekend.
Residents and emergency workers are racing against time to salvage homes and infrastructure before the freezing conditions worsen. The floods have already caused widespread damage, leaving many without essential services.
The onset of the polar vortex adds another layer of difficulty to relief operations. Snow and ice are making roads impassable, hindering the delivery of much-needed supplies to affected communities.
Authorities are urging residents to stay safe and follow official guidance as they navigate this dual crisis of flooding and extreme cold.
