Flooding late Saturday into early Sunday forced more than 80 people to be evacuated from parts of Louisville, Ky., emergency officials said.
Most of the flooding came from Beargrass Creek and evacuations took place in four sections of the city, according to the Louisville Emergency Management Agency Facebook page.
Heavy rainfall generated ahead of a slow-moving cold front broke two records in Louisville Saturday. One of those records included one that was a century-old.
It was the wettest Oct. 5 on record with 5.91 inches of rain, the National Weather Service forecast office in Louisville reported. The previous record was 3.1 inches, set in 1910.
