A devastating flood in the southeastern United States has resulted in widespread destruction and loss of life. In Kentucky, a total of eight fatalities have been reported, with four of those deaths occurring in Hart County, where a 73-year-old man was found dead in floodwaters. The governor, Andy Beshear, has confirmed eight deaths in his state. A disaster declaration has been approved by President Donald Trump for Kentucky. Other states in the region, including Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina, have been under storm-related alerts, with more than half a million households without power on Sunday night.

    1. We want to specifically put assets in places that flood and have flooded in the past.
    2. We need Kentuckians to remain alert. There are more than 300 road closures, with (state transportation) leaders saying the statewide impact is historic.
    3. I'm heartbroken to share we've lost at least 8 people to this storm.
