Much of the US faced another round of biting winter weather on Sunday, with torrential rains causing intense flooding in Kentucky and resulting in multiple deaths.
The Kentucky governor, Andy Beshear, on Sunday said at least eight people were dead amid the inundation, with the number possibly increasing.
Beshear said most of the deaths, including a mother and seven-year-old child, were caused by cars getting stuck in high water.
The mother and child were swept away on Saturday night in Kentucky’s Bonnieville community, Hart county coroner Tony Roberts said. In south-eastern Kentucky, a 73-year-old man was found dead in floodwaters in Clay county, county emergency management deputy director, Revelle Berry, said. There were a total of four deaths in Hart county, Beshear said.
