At least three people have died after heavy rains caused massive flooding across eastern Kentucky.

Dozens of people have been left stranded on rooftops and others without power or water as forecasts call for even more rain.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear expects deaths to rise to double digits, calling it one of “the worst, most devastating flooding events” in state history.

He said forecasted storms over the weekend mean the impacts could worsen.

Rescue workers are still trying to restore water and power to homes impacted by the floods.

The governor has issued a state of emergency declaration for all of Kentucky, and the National Guard has been mobilized.

“We probably have not seen the worst of it,” Beshear said.

“Sadly, we believe that we will lose Kentuckians and a lot of Kentuckians will probably lose most of what they have.”

More than 6 inches of rain fell overnight, leaving streets underwater. The heavy rain is expected to continue.

At its latest meeting, the U.S. Federal Reserve revised its economic forecasts downward, with growth trimmed, inflation nudged up, and unemployment expectations now higher.

Despite this gloomier outlook, the Fed still sees two rate cuts in 2025, but just one in 2024 and one in 2026, a major dial-back from earlier projections.
