PERRY COUNTY, Ky. — President Biden issued a major disaster declaration for Kentucky on Friday as thousands remained without power from disastrous flooding ...

Hundreds of homes have been lost in what Beshear called “the worst flooding disaster, at least of my lifetime, in Kentucky.” More than 300 people were in shelters. In December, at least 70 people in that state were killed when tornadoes stormed through parts of the South and Midwest. Although the school’s exterior walls mostly remained intact, Wooton said the interior had suffered “major” damage. The deluge was sparked by the same weather that caused historic flooding on Tuesday in St. Louis, where at least one person was killed and several others stranded in their cars and homes. Limited cell service made it difficult to determine a count of the missing, and flooding in some areas was not expected to crest for another day. They managed to get to a tree and ... held the children a few hours before a big tide came and wash them all away at the same time,” Trejo said. The school filled with at least six feet of water Wednesday night as nearby Squabble Creek swelled above its banks, he said. Human-caused climate change has spurred extreme precipitation events to increase significantly in the past century. Most of the people were killed in Knott County, a county of about 15,000 located around 150 miles southeast of Lexington. President Biden issued a major disaster declaration for Kentucky on Friday as the death toll rose to at least 16 — including several children — since Wednesday. Families in hard-hit towns began receiving grim news on relatives lost.
