Ohio and Kentucky floods from the sky

Drone footage showed flooded rivers and submerged vehicles and buildings after deadly storms hit parts of the U.S., stretching from Texas to Ohio in the past week.

Tennessee had 10 deaths in this period, according to the local health department. In addition to the two deaths announced by the Kentucky governor, there were also two deaths in Missouri and one each in Arkansas, Indiana and Mississippi, according to local media.

Climate change is bringing heavier rainfall and related flood risks in most parts of the U.S., with the upper Midwest and Ohio River Valley among the regions most affected, according to Climate Central.
