Flood Death Toll Reaches 6 as Kentucky Responds

Severe flooding in Kentucky has led to a tragic death toll of six, with the latest victim being a 66-year-old man from Campbell County. Governor Andy Beshear has urged residents to exercise caution around floodwaters, emphasizing the dangers of driving through water and around barricades. The Ohio River has recently crested in Louisville, but further flooding is expected in Owensboro, Henderson, and Paducah in the coming days. In response to the crisis, President Trump approved a federal disaster declaration for all Kentucky counties, while Beshear plans to request individual assistance for affected residents. The Team Kentucky Storm Relief Fund has raised nearly $1 million to assist victims, including covering funeral expenses. As recovery efforts continue, officials stress the importance of safety during the cleanup process.
