The Kentucky State Police and Laurel County Public Safety Officials are requesting that if you are not a first responder or live in the area that was recently affected by last nights tornadoes to please stay away from Ky 363 Keavy Road around the Sun Shine Hills Subdivision. This area will be shut down until further notice. Access will not be permitted.

Kentucky State Police Post 11 – London is requesting public assistance.**

We have numerous downed trees in our post area and require additional chain saws to support our Troopers and First Responders in clearing roadways to provide aid to those in need. If you have an extra chain saw that we can borrow, please deliver it to Post 11 – London as soon as possible. We will ensure its prompt return.

Please refrain from attempting to remove or drive over downed power lines. Please be safe and aware of the weather!!!

Thank you to all the people that have brought chainsaws to Post and that have went out and cut trees. At this time we are asking that no more chainsaws be brought to post. When it gets day time we might need them again.

Also first responders are having a hard time trying to get to people and get them out to get them the help they need. For the people just coming to see the damage please stay home and keep the roadway open. Thank you
