Search and rescue teams backed by the National Guard searched Friday for people missing in record floods that wiped out entire communities in some of the poorest places in America.
authorities said at least 19 people have died, a toll the governor said he expected to grow.
Beshear said earlier Friday the death toll was"going to get a lot higher." He said later officials may be updating the number of fatalities"for the next several weeks." Homes along Gross Loop off of KY-15 are flooded with water from the North Fork of the Kentucky River, on July 28, 2022.Floodwaters rushed through the area so violently and quickly that residents, many still recovering from the last flood, barely had time to get out.
Determining the number of people unaccounted for is tough with cell service and electricity out across the disaster area, he said:"This is so widespread, it's a challenge on even local officials to put that number together."
