Floods Ravage Connersville Families | Cincinnati News

Connersville braces for recovery after catastrophic flooding from heavy rains, with 26 rescues and widespread damage—especially on the East Side near the Whitewater River. One family, Joner Tackett Jr. and daughter Amy Lara, lost nearly everything in their home, including cherished antiques and appliances, though they recovered his wife’s ashes—a small solace amid devastation. Facing a fixed income and no flood coverage, they’re pleading for FEMA aid. Fayette County EMA is requesting state support to assess damage and deploy resources. Cleanup is underway, but one bridge is destroyed and roads remain hazardous as more rain looms. Despite the loss, Lara says staying safe is what matters most.
