Over 16 people are dead after flooding in Kentucky.
Water has yet to recede in many hard-hit areas but a lull in rainfall forecasted on Saturday could provide a crucial window in helping evacuate those still stuck in flooded areas before additional storms and possible flooding later in the weekend.
There could be an additional 1 to 2 inches of rainfall starting Sunday afternoon through Monday — but the storm front is expected to move through without lingering like it did in Thursday's flooding, said Ed Ray, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Jackson, Ky."Because we’ve taken such a hard hit already, it isn’t going to take much to cause more problems," Ray told USA TODAY."Any rain you get just adds insult to injury.
“FEMA has brought in additional search and rescue teams to support the amazing efforts that are already ongoing on the ground," Criswell said. "If there are additional resources that are needed for these life saving missions, we will continue to bring in those resources.”
