Seems like localized flooding would be more of an issue there:

"Increased precipitation could alleviate water shortages and
provide more water for dilution of pollutants. However, flooding
is a recurring problem along many streams in Kentucky. Major
floods are frequent from November to May, whereas flash floods
can occur at any time. Rising groundwater levels also have
contributed to flooding in the Louisville area. Higher rainfall,
particularly during the traditional flood season, would increase
the flood risk. Increased rainfall also could increase landslides,
erosion, and levels of pesticides and fertilizers in runoff from
agricultural areas. It could also increase pollution in runoff from
mining and urban areas."

Kentucky is in the middle of the United States, so you are in the safest part unless of course you happen to live by the Ohio River somewhere.

By the Time Kentucky flooded most of the coastal United States would be gone already such as Florida, California, Oregon, Washington, Texas and so fourth.

Now if you lived in Florida I would just have answered Yes you should worry in about 70 years or so.
