Severe Flooding and Storms Lead to Tragedy in Kentucky and Surrounding States

Recent severe weather has caused catastrophic flooding across Kentucky and parts of the Southern U.S., resulting in at least 14 deaths and widespread evacuations. The Kentucky town of Beattyville has been evacuated due to high water, and many roads remain closed due to rising water levels. Governor Beshear has commented on the response from FEMA and the Trump administration following the severe storms. As rescue efforts continue, communities across the Appalachian region are grappling with the aftermath, facing extensive damage to homes and infrastructure. Ohio Task Force-1 has joined the rescue operations to aid those affected in Kentucky, where the death toll is rising amid ongoing severe weather warnings.
