In 2021 Ashland and much of eastern Kentucky was subject to 2 massive ice storms, leaving 1/2 inch of ice in many places. This lead to thousands of trees falling across everything from streams, road, homes, and barns.
As if that wasn’t enough, before the cleanup could even begin record rainfall moved through the area which in combination with all the tree debris caused massive flooding, power outages, and destroyed barns and hay fields.
