The devastation in Kentucky came as a dangerous storm swept through, causing flash floods. As many as 12 tornadoes were reported in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma, but there were no immediate reports of major damage, according to Weather.com.
Five tornadoes were confirmed in Missouri Thursday night band Friday, including an EF-2 that struck near Pomona in the southern part of the state, the National Weather Service said.
Kentucky was soaked by up to 5 inches of rain, leading to flash flood warnings in Louisville, where cars were inundated as roads turned into rivers and officials conducted more than 100 water rescues, according to Weather.com.
"The main hazard from the flooding is to drivers, especially in the dark," Weather Channel meteorologist Michael Palmer said. "There is the potential for people to drive into flooded areas, getting stuck and then being swept away."
