Appalachia flooding kills at least 8 in Kentucky

Heavy rains have caused flash flooding and mudslides as storms pound parts of central Appalachia. Kentucky Gov said Thursday that at least eight people have died from flooding in the state and property damage has been massive with hundreds losing their homes.

Water rescues continue across the region but it isn't possible to reach everyone yet. Residents said the flood filled their home quickly and they had to swim out. The Grapevine-Chavies Fire Department in Perry County said the flooding has affected just about everyone there and about 95% of the people in this area lost their property.
