"Yeah, this, this is a dangerous winter storm that’s on its way in. It’s been dangerous. So far, I know, we’ve lost a couple of people to hypothermia recently. We are preparing for all those folks to come in, if they like. We have Operation White Flag in full swing right now. That means we have space for people to come in. We make space for people to come in and get out of the elements.”

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Nina Moseley, Wayside Christian Mission chief operating officer:
“A lot of times, the mentally ill homeless population don’t really grasp that they can actually die. And a lot of times folks who stay out in the camps are using drugs and again, they’re not with it, they don’t realize, hey I can really die during this. So it’s important we as a community need watch out for these folks.”
11. High water on banks of Ohio River
STORYLINE:
In flood-battered Kentucky, the state was bracing for a winter storm that could dump a half-foot or more of snow in some parts of the state, starting Wednesday.
“This is a snowstorm in the middle of a natural disaster,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said at a news conference Tuesday in Frankfort, the capital city.
The weather-related death toll in Kentucky rose to 14, the governor said, with the two latest fatalities in Jefferson County, which includes Louisville. The two, an adult male and an adult female, were apparently homeless and both appeared to die from hypothermia, he said.
“So that should tell all of us that the weather conditions are as dangerous as that water is,” Beshear said.
