Massive Storm Kills Four
KENTUCKY...
A massive storm hit Kentucky over the weekend, resulting in four confirmed deaths and 40 counties having been declared in states of emergency. During a news conference Monday afternoon, Governor Steve Beshear told Kentucky Emergency Management officials had he spoken with President Barack Obama and was asking for a federal emergency declaration. Beshear said very early estimates of damage appeared to be at least $6 million. Deaths were reported in Lincoln, Allen, Barren and Madison counties. High waters continued to block hundreds of roads on Monday.
