LOUISVILLE, Feb 16 (AP): Heavy rains and dangerous flooding struck the Southeast U.S. as much of the East endured a renewed round of harsh, soggy weather Saturday, with at least one fatality confirmed in Kentucky.
A 73-year-old man was found dead in floodwaters in Clay County, Kentucky, WKYT-TV reported. Clay County Emergency Management Deputy Director Revelle Berry confirmed the fatality but did not provide additional details.
The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife said there was an investigation into a death and a rescue operation underway in Hart County, WNKY-TV reported. The station reported a juvenile died and a second victim was missing in flooding Saturday evening.
The Fish and Wildlife department and the Hart County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to a request for more information from The Associated Press.
Water submerged cars and buildings in Kentucky and mudslides blocked roads in Virginia. Both of the states were under flood warnings, along with Tennessee and Arkansas. The National Weather Service warned residents to stay off the roads.
