Sunday’s all-day steady rain caused the already- leaky roof of the Ports-mouth Municipal Building to increase its output of water and onto the desks and equipment of Municipal Judge Russell Kegley. Court employees found the roof leaking when they reported for work.

At one point, the judge’s secretary, Dee Alley, sat under an umbrella to protect herself and some of the electronic equipment from getting soaked, according to Leroy Kegley, clerk of the courts.

“She sat at her desk with an umbrella open,” Leroy Kegley said. “The city clerk’s office also took water from a leaking roof and ceiling.”

Both Greenup County and Lewis County school districts in Kentucky canceled classes Monday because school buses could not get through the high water in various spots.
