Residents of the Weatherstone neighborhood in Bowling Green woke up to flooded streets Sunday, with many of them unable to leave their driveway.

"I was just like, 'Oh, my God; I hope my mom is going to be OK,'" said Warren County resident Michelle Miller, whose mother lives in Weatherstone. 

Pam Downing, Miller's mother, said she was devastated when she saw her street flooded. 

“I knew it was going to happen, but I never knew it was going to be so bad," Downing said. 

Miller said this is the second time in the last several years the Weatherstone neighborhood has flooded. Her mother has lived there for a year and a half.

“We were told this place flooded, but we were not told the extent of the flooding," Miller said. 

Crews went out as early as 6 a.m. to help, making a gravel road so people could leave the neighborhood.

The depth of the water can vary from a couple of feet to much deeper, said Heath Crawford, Scotty's Contracting & Stone heavy civil construction manager.

“In these types of situations and conditions, you want to be very cautious when you try and cross waters that you can’t see the bottom of," Crawford said. 

Echoing the sentiment of her neighbors, Miller said she hopes for a quick recovery. 

“Try to do the best you can for everyone in the family," Miller said. 

The neighborhood's homeowners association said they'll bring their concerns to the Warren County Fiscal Court.
