Storms caused extensive damage in northeast Kentucky as Rowan County was hit hard. Some 70 homes were damaged by flash flooding in the eastern part of Rowan County.
County officials say there were also some trailers washed off their footing and some water rescues were also necessary. There are also some roads in the area that have been washed out or are mud-covered.
Ronnie Day, Rowan County Emergency Management Director, says the damage is extensive throughout the county.
“We’ve got approximately 70 homes that have anywhere from minor to major flood damage, we’ve got vehicles that have been washed away," said Day.
Day adds the blacktop on some roads have been damaged, including bridge corners and private driveways.
Damage assessments are underway and emergency declarations have been requested.
