On Friday, a 9-year-old boy in Kentucky placed a flood, one of at least nine people who died in a number of dramatic thunderstorms that continue to sort through the United States.
On Saturday, high wind and heavy rain continued the condition, including Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky, delaying the restoration efforts.
Forecasters at the National Weather Service said they were expecting “potentially historical” precipitation and extensive temperature fluctuations from the Central US to the eastern coast on Sunday.
The boy was reportedly going to his school bus stop on Friday morning when he was overtaken by the floods. The Frankfurt police Department in Frankfurt, Kentucky, confirmed that he had restored his body in about two hours.
“We are deeply upset by this horrific tragedy that took away the life of one of our students,” Franklin Mark CopP, head of the district, said at a press conference.
Governor Kentucky Andy Besher called the boy’s death “incredible loss.” He also confirmed another death – adult – in Kentucky on Saturday.
“We need everyone to understand that all the water is at risk now. Let’s do our best to keep our loved ones,” he said in a statement.
National weather forecasters on the meteorological services said that in the wide lane of the Central United States, serious thunderstorms and flash outbreaks, which continued from Arkansas and Louisiana to Western Pennsylvania on Sunday before the system will weaken and move to the east coast.
As of Saturday afternoon, more than 162,000 people were already without power in Arkansas, Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky have already announced emergencies at the beginning of the week.
Forecasters said the thunderstorms on Saturday occurred “the causes of catastrophic, potentially historical heavy rainfall and floods, and in some places potentially see the amount of precipitation up to 10-20 (inches) when everything is said.”
Even when the rain stops, the swollen rivers will continue to be dangerous, forecasters said. Pressure changes and high winds also put the area from East Texas to Western Tennessee at increasing the risk to tornado.
It was The Strong Week Week for the Region. Dozens of tornado were reported, and hundreds of counties were spent several days under thunderstorms from Wednesday.
Other deaths included a man and his teenage daughter in Tennessee and a 68-year-old man in Missouri, who was reportedly stopped to help the driver.
The same region suffered tornado, forest fires and dust storms, which killed 40 and left the “stunning” damage in March.
