LaGRANGE, Ky. -- Tuesday appeared to be an average day on the Ohio River northeast of Louisville until a house floated by.

The unoccupied two-story house floated atop 24 55-gallon plastic barrels.

The house had a bedroom upstairs and a living room downstairs, as well as an attached kitchen. It was filled with household items and debris, North Oldham Fire Chief Rick Albers said.

Inside the house, authorities found 4-year-old mail addressed to a man from Frankfort, Ky.

Officials suspect recent storms may have swept the floating structure away from the banks and down the river.

Firefighters and the U.S. Coast Guard moved the floating structure to shore and tethered it to trees.

Did they find the body of Huck Finn's father, perchance?

Officials suspect recent storms may have swept the floating structure away from the banks and down the river.

Furthermore, officials suspect that rain is that wet stuff that falls from the sky and rivers are those things that you find houses floating down now and again.

Looks like they already planned for the flood.

Note to self... Get empty 55 barrel drums out from underneath house before the next rain.
