(WKYT) &#8211; Some tornado survivors in southern Kentucky have a new temporary home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">FEMA has arrived with travel trailers at a park in London.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">It\u2019s a welcome sight for people who still don\u2019t know where they are going to live after their homes were destroyed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748471170_522_7Q22NG66SFG4BCCZJFMQ43MG6E.jpg\" width=\"980\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">They have many questions after so much loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cAs you can see, we lost everything. But we are very grateful to be here,\u201d said Getson Roberts, looking over what used to be an apartment complex, now a debris pile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Roberts and Bridgett Downey are starting over. They\u2019ve been living in hotels since the May 16th tornado, but now have a new FEMA travel trailer to call home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cGot us something where we can kind of settle in for a bit. Instead of moving us around,\u201d Roberts said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">A number of people, some high-profile Kentuckians, have helped in the aftermath of the tornado, and WKYT was told that as some were moving into their trailers Wednesday morning, UK basketball player Trent Noah was there to welcome them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">People say despite losing so much, they are so thankful for what they\u2019ve gained, and who has helped.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThe community has really reached out and helped us. Offering us help and resources, which is a phenomenon,\u201d said Roberts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">People say the trailers are small but nice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cWe are trying to take it one day at a time. Just be grateful for where we are at. And what we got.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">They have their lives, riding out the tornado in a doorframe, saying it\u2019s a miracle their children survived, found under and inside a refrigerator.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThe refrigerator saved the kids\u2019 lives. We are beaten, bruised, banged up, scraped, broken foot, but we are lucky to be alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Federal officials say people can stay in the FEMA trailers for up to two years at no cost to them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2025 WKYT.
