Every April, for more than seven decades, Paris, Tennessee, has celebrated what’s come to be known as the “World’s Biggest Fish Fry,” attracting thousands of visitors to the Henry County community.

Recent heavy rains in western Kentucky caused water levels at Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley to rise and crest earlier this week. But some fish species started reproducing as the waters were rising – and now that those levels are receding, some wildlife experts are concerned about how those eggs will be impacted.

Graves County Emergency Management activated the DARCI platform on Sunday, which lets residents who have been affected by severe weather in recent days share their disaster-related needs with relief organizations in the county.
