At least 25 killed as Kentucky devastated by flash floods

At least 25 people have been killed in a series of flash floods in Kentucky.

At a press conference in the last hour the state’s governor has warned that the death toll is likely to rise – as many people are still unaccounted for.

Torrential rainfall in recent days led to flooding and mudslides. It has left thousands of houses without power and more rainfall is forecast for the affected areas.
