Paducah, KY – Paducah has installed 37 of its 47 floodgates. City Engineer-Public Works Director Rick Murphy says Paducah is prepared for the forecast 53-foot Ohio River crest. The city will install the final floodgates only if the crest is projected to go higher. National Weather Service projections were revised yesterday two feet lower than previous estimates. Paducah city spokeswoman Pam Spencer says without a floodwall, Broadway would be three feet underwater when the river crests early next week.
