The death toll has risen to 15 after days of torrential rain flooded homes and roads, causing rivers to overflow in the eastern US state of Kentucky, Gov. Andy Beshear announced today.
“We’ve lost at least 15 Kentuckians, although that number is going to increase, possibly more than double,” Beshear said in a video on Twitter, noting that 23,000 homes and businesses remain without power. “This situation is ongoing. We are still in the search and rescue process.”
Flood warnings remained in effect throughout the day for the eastern part of the state as well as northeastern Tennessee and western West Virginia, where more rain is expected, the National Weather Service (NWS) said.
