Recent heavy rainfall and slow discharge from Buckhorn Lake resulted in continued flooding in and around the town of Confluence from the first of the month through March 17. This led to several homes continuing to be surrounded by flood waters. Nearby roadways, including Kentucky Highway 257, also experienced inundation into the middle of March.
