Floods in Kentucky have killed 25 people. How much damage did the flood cause?

According to the report of relevant news departments on July 30, 2022, extreme rainstorm occurred in Kentucky for several days in succession, which also caused huge floods in the eastern region. On the same day, the governor of Kentucky also confirmed the incident and said that the flood had caused 25 local deaths, including 4 children. The losses caused by this flood disaster are still relatively large. The water level rose so fast that even some roofs were flooded. Due to the heavy rain, about 1.6 thousand households and businesses in this state have lost power.

The governor of the state said that the state of Kengita has entered a state of emergency and relevant rescue departments have come to the worst-hit areas. Three parks have been opened in this area to accommodate those affected by the disaster, and the governor said that reconstruction after the disaster may take many years. Not only Kentucky, but also parts of two neighboring states have suffered floods, and the following six counties have also entered a state of emergency.

When the flood disaster happened, many local residents were very scared and suddenly evacuated quickly without any warning and preparation, so all their property was submerged in the flood. A local resident who was affected by the disaster said that his life savings had been invested in his house, and now he has nothing after the flood. The resident used to work in a coal mine, but now he has retired and lives with his nephew. The flood that day happened at about 2:30~3:00 pm. I was sleeping, but the flood soon approached and flooded into the house.

So the two uncles had to evacuate quickly. After the evacuation, they went to a local park to avoid the disaster and said they were very confused about the future. As of July 30, 2022, the local flood warning has not been lifted. In some places, even rescuers can't get in because of the serious disaster, so many people are still missing, and the real death toll is still increasing.
