Kristi Frazier, owner of the Courtyard Deli in downtown Lexington, is dealing with the aftermath of weekend flooding at her house in Woodford County.

We sat down with her to see how she prepared for the flood, and how the customers she'd been serving have now showed up to serve her.

It's nine feet in our house.

We live in Woodford County on Buck Run Road down on my Kentucky River.

We knew the river was going to come up, and we had prepared for about a 2 to 3ft flood water.

And, on Friday morning, we looked at the NOAA forecast.

That's a page that does our forecasting of the river, our front of our house, our section of the river, and saw that it was going to be considerably higher.

So we dashed off the U-Haul truck, hired movers that were going to move in, move us out on Saturday morning and go over.

This is a great well, by Friday at noon we're going.

So fortunately, we called U-Haul.

The truck was available, called The movers.

The and the movers came down.

These guys were wonderful, and they moved us out in three hours.

90% of our furniture out is live on the Kentucky River.

You you know you're going to get wet.

Not this way.

There are houses down there that have never flooded, that have been evacuated, and firemen coming in and boats and get them.

Some of our neighbors out.

This is devastating to.

Clifton Bayfront in Woodford County.

And so it's just, so sad that some people got caught on unawares, you know, and lost so much more than we have.

We really in the big picture of a lot of things, are fortunate, more fortunate than most.

And I'm pretty proactive.

I already have, Servpro on deck to go in there on Friday, and I come home with these big machines that suck all the water mud out and then make humidifiers in there.

So we're going to get on pretty quickly.

Everybody helps everybody.

We have a little Facebook group, private group that every anybody that's a member is talking about what's happening at their house.

What they might need.

People helping people.

It's very close, tight knit community of, you know, river people who love the Kentucky River.

And I can't imagine any of us leaving.

I don't know, I think we're all going to just carry on and get our fix.

We're staying in the for sale, swanky Holiday Inn acts like it's lovely and they're being very attentive.

A lot of flood victims in the hotel right now.

The courtyard deli.

My husband and I own it together, but I. I started it and, we've been in, like, downtown for 32 years, and we've been in this location for a they came up in just droves.

You know, we didn't expect this, so I did my extra bread make, you know, I made the usual day's amount of food.

We were sold out by top everything by a quarter of one.

And people have been so generous and kind.

It really makes you feel all warm all over our community.

And how lovely they are as a little restaurant.

The little restaurant that could, you know, for many, many years.
