Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said on Sunday that two people died and over 500 roads were closed in the state due to deadly storms and floods, which have also killed over a dozen people in the past week in other states of the U.S. South and Midwest.
“Kentucky, there is record flooding across our state, with over 500 road closures. Rivers have not yet crested, so we still have a day — if not more — of rising waters. We’ve already lost two of our people,” Beshear said on social media platform X.
