After the windstorm damage took its toll last month, Kentucky is finally getting some federal assistance.
Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear announced that FEMA has accepted his request for disaster relief aid.
"I am pleased that these Kentucky counties that were so severely affected by the devastating winds that struck Kentucky will be able to receive much-needed federal assistance as they recover from these terrible storms," said Gov. Beshear.
Beshear made the request after the severe windstorm damage associated with Hurricane Ike that hit multiple counties in Kentucky mid-September.
The financial help was authorized under a disaster declaration issued by President Bush. More than 20 counties will receive aid.
