DEATH TOLL FROM DEVASTATING FLOODS IN KENTUCKY REACHES 25

  • 30/07/2022

The greatest calamity to hit that area in decades—devastating flash floods—have killed at least 25 people in eastern Kentucky's Appalachia region.

The governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, predicted that the death toll would keep rising. According to him, numerous residences and businesses had been inundated.

The floods have been deemed a "serious disaster" by President Joe Biden, who has also ordered government assistance for local rescues.

At least six children, including a one-year-old, are among the deceased.

According to scientists, climate change is causing more catastrophic weather events, like the floods in Kentucky.

Mr. Beshear declared the flood to be "by far the worst" he had ever seen during an airborne tour with the National Guard.
