At this moment Louisville, Kentucky is suffering three different disasters at once.
1. There is a flood going on (like in many parts of the Kentucky today.) 5 to seven inches of rain have fallen in the last 24 hours. Two more inches are expected this afternoon. Numerous water rescues have occurred. There is sewage is some of the flood waters.
2. A massive fire at the GE Appliance park had completely destroyed one of the buildings in the complex. As I understand it, there are lots of plastics being stored in the building. Those burning plastics are releasing toxic smoke, and ash is raining down on the city. This could seriously affect people's yards and gardens, children's play areas and anyone with respiratory diseases like asthma or COPD. Hydrochloric acid gases have been detected at the scene of the fire. Shelter in place was ordered for 1/2 mile around the fire.

3. As many as 6,000 people may be without a job because of the fire. The economic repercussions will last for months.
Three disasters at once.
This is also the 41st anniversary of the super-occurrence of tornadoes that hit Louisville (as well as the rest of Kentucky and the eastern US)
Stay prepared y'all.
Can three disasters strike at once?
