Owensboro Native Now Living in Houston Discusses Historic Flood [Video]
Shannon Bridgmon Rinaldo, a 1991 graduate of Daviess County High School, is originally from Owensboro. But she's now living in Houston, Texas, where torrential rains from Hurricane Harvey continue to flood and devastate the city. Earlier this morning, Shannon joined us on the morning show to give a local perspective into the unprecedented event in the nation's fourth largest city. Shannon lives about a mile away from unimaginable flooding and, like so many residents in Houston, trapped in the city.
