At least four people have died after severe thunderstorms triggered flash floods across Kentucky, with some areas receiving up to 7 inches (18 cm) of rainfall. Governor Andy Beshear declared a state of emergency, confirming three deaths in Madison County and one in Jackson County, while emergency teams carried out multiple water rescues from vehicles and homes. Authorities also warned residents near a rural road in Bullitt County — just outside Louisville — to evacuate as a precaution following a landslide at a dam embankment, though officials said the dam itself was holding and not in imminent danger of failure.
