The National Meteorological Administration said that from the 27th to the morning of the 27th local time, the precipitation in eastern Kentucky reached about 8 inches (203 mm). Several heavy rains had caused the water level of the river to rise, and some ground was flooded. On the morning of the 28th, the heavy rainfall directly caused severe floods.

The video shows that the cars on the road have been drowned by two -thirds of the floods; where the house is deeper, the house is even drowned to see the roof. Many rescuers at the scene rescued rescuers trapped in the house by kayak.

The state's resident and 37 -year -old Belinda Ashe recalled that she was sleeping at home when the flood occurred, and was awakened by the flood alert on the mobile phone at 1:15 in the morning. In the next 45 minutes, her three -bedroom house was washed away by the flood. When she escaped, she saw the door frame at home was rolled away by floods. Ashi said: "At least 10 to 15 families have lost everything within a mile."

He is estimated that the flood has been destroyed by hundreds of houses, and half of the region has been drowned in the water. Bechill expects the number of deaths to reach double digits. He said: "This is the most serious flood in Kenaki in my life."
