Beshear said most of the deaths, including a mother and 7-year-old child, were caused by cars getting stuck in high water. Beshear said there have been 1,000 rescues across the state since the storms began Saturday. The storms knocked out power to about 39,000 homes, but Beshear warned that harsh winds in some areas could increase outages. “The effects will continue for a while, a lot of swollen streams and a lot of flooding going on,” Oravec said Sunday. “Any time there’s flooding; the flooding can last a lot longer than the rain lasts.” The mother and child were swept away Saturday night in Kentucky's Bonnieville community, Hart County Coroner Tony Roberts said. In southeastern Kentucky, a 73-year-old man was found dead in floodwaters in Clay County, county Emergency Management Deputy Director Revelle Berry said. There was a total of four deaths in Hart County, Beshear said. The Kentucky River Medical Center in the city of Jackson said it had closed its emergency department and transferred all patients to two other hospitals in the region due to a nearby river flooding. Photos posted by authorities and residents on social media showed cars and buildings underwater in south-central and eastern Kentucky. In Buchanan County, Virginia, the sheriff’s office said multiple roads were blocked by mudslides.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said Sunday that hundreds of people stranded by flooding had to be rescued. President Donald Trump approved the state's request for a disaster declaration, authorizing the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate relief efforts throughout the state.

Two people were killed and four remain in the hospital from an explosion at a manufacturing facility in Louisville, Kentucky, officials said.
The "hazardous materials incident" was reported Tuesday afternoon at a Givaudan Sense Colour facility, a natural food coloring plant, according to the Louisville Metro Emergency Services.
First responders were initially told by the business that all employees were accounted for, officials said Wednesday. But then a second victim was found buried in rubble late Tuesday evening after crews went back to the scene upon guidance from the business that someone was likely still there. It took three-and-a-half hours to remove that victim from the rubble, officials said.
"We are deeply saddened to share the news that two of our team members lost their lives in this accident," Givaudan Sense Colour said in a statement. The University of Louisville Hospital said it received seven patients with injuries including burn and blast wounds. All those injured are employees of the plant, officials said. Four people remain hospitalized on Wednesday, all in stable condition, officials said. The cause of the explosion remains under investigation, officials said.

At least four people have died across Kentucky following severe weather on Sunday, including a tornado, that damaged property and left tens of thousands without power.
At 12:12 a.m. Monday, Gov. Andy Beshear issued a state of emergency for the commonwealth. This declaration allows the state to bring in additional resources such as the National Guard.
The storms brought a tornado watch in Louisville and severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings across the commonwealth. Much of the region experienced storm damage.
Gov. Andy Beshear held an 11 a.m. press conference Monday — Memorial Day, to address the ongoing weather situation and provide an update on storm damage along with the state’s response plan.
"Last night many families and communities were not safe," Beshear said. "We had devastating storms that hit almost the entire state."
The Memorial Day weekend storms weren't the state's first run in with tornadoes and storms this year
Beshear said there was at least one tornado confirmed in the state that lasted for about 40 miles. This tornado barely missed the prison in Eddyville.
Kentucky Secretary of Transportation Jim Gray said it appears that Western Kentucky was hit the hardest by the storms, noting damages across state highways and roads.
Beshear said not only did the storms take out power for thousands of people, but many roads and interstates were temporarily closed due to the storms. Many businesses and residential areas also suffered "massive damage." Beshear urged individuals to report any and all levels of damage to the emergency management agencies in their county to help the state qualify for FEMA assistance and other resources.
"But like we always see after severe weather events, first responders and everyday Kentuckians rally to help each other in those toughest moments," Beshear said.
The governor confirmed at least four people have died and one individual is "fighting for their life" as a result of the Sunday storms.
Confirmed fatalities include a 67-year-old woman from Mercer County, a 62-year-old woman in Hardin County, a 48-year-old woman in Hopkins County and a 34-year-old man in Jefferson County.
At this time, Beshear said he is not aware of any unaccounted-for Kentuckians.
Statewide, there are roughly 175,000 customers without power across the state, Beshear said. While large cities should expect to see power restored today, the governor said counties like Trigg and Todd may be without power for several days since there was significant destruction to the power infrastructure in the area.
Across the state, 14 counties and five cities have declared states of emergency alongside the governor's declaration.

Flood Victims
Providing shelter, food, water and cleaning supplies. At least 8 dead and multiple people missing in wake of flooding, power outages in eastern Kentucky. Rescue workers plucked people off rooftops amid fast-rising water Thursday in central Appalachia, where torrential rains unleashed some of the worst flooding in the state's history. This is an ongoing natural disaster, with more rain expected tonight that could worsen the situation. Hundreds of properties could be destroyed, and the flooding is historic and ongoing. Hundreds will lose their homes, and this is going to be yet another event that it's going to take not months but likely years for many families to rebuild and recover from. The situation is dynamic and ongoing. In most places, they are not seeing receding water. In fact, in most places, it is not crested yet. There are a lot of people in eastern Kentucky on top of roofs waiting to be rescued. The storms hit an Appalachian Mountain region where communities and homes are built on steep hillsides or down in the hollows between them, where the only flat land often shoulders creeks and streams that can rise in a hurry.
