Reports indicate at least two fatalities in Kentucky due to the relentless downpours. The storm has forced numerous water rescues across Southern Kentucky, with local authorities advising residents to heed warnings and avoid flooded roads. Evacuations have been prompted in several areas, including parts of Virginia and Kentucky, where a state of emergency has been declared. Flash flood warnings remain in effect for numerous counties, as crews continue to respond to rising water incidents and potential landslides.
