Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear discusses damage he's seen from severe flooding in his state, says it's 'devastating.'
Gov. Andy Beshear said at least six children were among the victims.
"We've still got a lot of searching to do," said Jerry Stacy, the emergency management director in Kentucky's hard-hit Perry County."We still have missing people." Determining the number of people unaccounted for is tough with cell service and electricity out across the disaster area, he said:"This is so widespread, it's a challenge on even local officials to put that number together."
Beshear had planned to tour the disaster area on Friday, but postponed it because conditions at an airport where they planned to land are unsafe, his office said. "With more rainfall forecasted over the next few days, we want to lean forward in providing as many resources possible to assist those affected," Youngkin said in a statement.
