Although the number of confirmed deaths has held steady at 37, Governor Andy Beshear said he expected the toll to increase by a least "a couple of people" in the coming days.

In nearby Hindman, flood water had swamped the first floor of the building that houses Bowling Law Firm. About 60 miles to the northwest, survivors sat outside a temporary shelter set up by the American Red Cross at Wolfe County High School in Campton. Some of them spoke about the harrowing experience of escaping the fast-rising water with little more than their lives.
Heroes!
