Eight people have died in Kentucky as rains cause severe flooding, prompting a state of emergency and federal disaster response
At least eight people have died in Kentucky, in the United States, over the weekend as torrential rains triggered widespread flooding across the state.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear declared a state of emergency on Friday as powerful storms swept through the Lower Mississippi Valley.
Rescue operations are ongoing, with hundreds of people stranded and more than 300 roads blocked due to rising floodwaters.
The National Weather Service reported that some areas of Kentucky received up to six inches of rain and has issued flash flood warnings for large parts of central and southern Kentucky.
Following a request from Governor Beshear, U.S. President Donald Trump approved an emergency disaster declaration, authorizing the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to coordinate relief efforts.
Among the deceased are a mother and her seven-year-old child, as well as a 73-year-old man.
