LOUISVILLE, Ky. — At least nine people have died in the most recent round of harsh weather to pummel the U.S., including eight people in Kentucky who died as creeks swelled from heavy rain and water covered roads.Beshear said many of the deaths, including a mother and 7-year-old child, were caused by cars getting stuck in high water.
Hart County Coroner Tony Roberts said earlier that the mother and child were swept away Saturday night in the Bonnieville community. In southeastern Kentucky, a 73-year-old man was found dead in floodwaters in Clay County, County Emergency Management Deputy Director Revelle Berry said.
