Heavy rainfall and flooding have struck several states in the US, claiming at least nine lives, primarily in Kentucky where a 7-year-old child is among the casualties. Governor Andy Beshear emphasized the dangers of high water, urging residents to avoid roads. A state of emergency has been declared, and President Trump has approved disaster relief for Kentucky. The flooding has also led to mandatory evacuations in Tennessee and significant disruptions in medical services and utilities across affected regions.
"We believe that this number is gonna grow," the state's governor, Andy Beshear, said, adding that most of the deaths were caused by cars getting stuck in high water.
"This is the search and rescue phase, and I am very proud of all the Kentuckians that are out there responding, putting their lives on the line," Governor Beshear said.
