Four people have died due to flooding from thunderstorms in Kentucky, Gov. Andy Beshear said Saturday, and he declared a state of emergency with additional rainfall expected.
Flash flood warnings were in effect Saturday for parts of Kentucky and Indiana amid heavy rainfall, according to the National Weather Service.
Between 4 and 10 inches of rain had already fallen in some parts of southwestern Indiana, with more possible, the agency said.
Three people had died in Madison County and one in Jackson County due to flooding, Beshear said on social media.
Search and rescue teams were going door to door searching for victims in hard-hit areas, with some areas still not accessible, the deputy Madison County coroner said.
The governor urged residents to remain alert and avoid driving, especially after dark when there is limited visibility.
