INGOLD: But fear is not enough reason for these eastern Kentuckians to leave despite the flood dangers. NOBLE: We're back in the house, but we're scared. She worries about what will happen if heavy rains come again. You can also see where landslides cleared portions of the hillsides around her home. INGOLD: Outside in her yard, she's replaced many of the animals that she lost in the flood. So we want to - I wanted to stay at my home because I'm just too old to change it. And then my husband passed away here, and now he's buried just down the road here. So in her mind, selling wasn't an option. INGOLD: And for Noble, there are just too many memories. NOBLE: Trying to get everything put back together. And that is our - was my parents' heritage, you know? MULLINS: We were offered that option, but our property on River Caney was land that had been handed down, that were settled in the 1700s. ![]() For Mullins, the roots on her creekside land run too deep.

Mullins and her husband have since moved to a new home a few miles away and on much higher ground, but she still gets upset when the weather starts to turn. INGOLD: Two storms had stalled over eastern Kentucky and dumped massive amounts of rain over several days. It was, like, screeching, you know, as it passed. Like, it would, like, hit the top of our house. MULLINS: So I just stood there, and I watched, like, the neighbors' houses go down the stream. INGOLD: There was little she could do as the creek that ran near her home became a raging river. ![]() It was - you know, they were just trapped. It looked like two rivers on each side of my house, and there was no way for them to get out of there. She couldn't reach it and realized her son and husband were inside.
