Not to get political, but the Governor of KY has political ideologically  totally opposite of me, but the dude has my respect for what he's done; of course it's hits a little closer to him due to the location.

Finally, and just spit balling here, is there something we as a message board community can do. Perhaps a go fund me where we all chip in and get the kids in the Benton-Mayfield area some Bengals jerseys.. 

Agreed, I don't want to make this political (honestly, I don't have a lot of knowledge over what Dandy Andy stands for as we haven't gotten to see a lot of it). But dude has my respect. While Biden was taking press photos, Beshear was hanging back in Mayfield and just talking to people. Taking names. Giving hugs (yeah, kind of lame, but he did what he could). About a week later, my daughter's soccer team was volunteering at a state park with those displaced. Who shows up? Beshear. He talked to the volunteers, thanked each one of them (only about 7 kids from her team showed up, but still), talked about playing as a center mid, and had lunch with them. From what I understand, he's been visiting all of the parks on a fairly regular basis (the state opened up lodging at state parks for those displaced).

No politics, I just think he's been a decent guy. Bonus, he didn't call it a hurricane.
