Massive damage, casualties expected after overnight flooding in Eastern Kentucky, governor says [View all]
People were stranded on rooftops and others unaccounted for Thursday after heavy rains caused massive flooding across Eastern Kentucky in what the governor called one of "the worst, most devastating flooding events" in state history.
“We probably have not seen the worst of it," Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said at a morning news conference. "Sadly, we believe that we will lose Kentuckians and a lot of Kentuckians will probably lose most of what they have.”
There were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths. Beshear had called a state of emergency and the National Guard has been mobilized.
Gen. Hal Lamberton said crews were working to rescue people stranded on roofs of homes. Staff at a school were also stranded, he said.
