Paducah, Ky. – As the lower Ohio River faces record flood levels, businesses along the riverfront are urgently working to protect lives and properties. Employees at James Marine, which has multiple locations along the riverfront, have been sandbagging the area around their offices and machine shops all day. A spokesperson at the Clarks River Road office says water could flood their facility tomorrow. They've had to use a pontoon to travel around their Walker Boat Yard location.
