This follows several storms in the South and Midwest that led to a dozen deaths. In Kentucky, two of its rivers, the Kentucky and Green, have flooded over. According to the National Weather Service, the Green River is still under a major flood warning as of Monday morning.
One of the reported deaths in Kentucky was Gabriel Andrews, 9, who was walking to a bus stop Friday morning when a flash flood swept him away. Police found Andrews’s body two hours after they learned of the incident.
“My heart breaks for this family,” Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) wrote of Andrews on X. “We need everyone to understand that all water poses a risk right now. Let’s do everything possible to keep our loved ones safe.”
