A devastating series of storms and tornadoes has led to significant flooding across central U.S., claiming at least 16 lives. Tragically, a 9-year-old boy in Kentucky was swept away by floodwaters while on his way to a school bus stop. The child was later found deceased, raising serious concerns about why local school authorities did not cancel classes during such dangerous weather conditions. The community is now mourning the loss of this young life, with grieving teachers and peers expressing their sorrow. As officials prepare for more inclement weather, over 300 roads are said to be closed, compounding fears about ongoing safety in the region.
