Flash flood emergency issued in western Kentucky
A "particularly dangerous situation" unfolded in western Kentucky early Wednesday after slow-moving thunderstorms dropped several inches of rain overnight, which prompted a flash flood emergency and forced several people out of their homes. The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Paducah, Kentucky, warned the flash flood damage threat could be "catastrophic" for Graves, Carlisle and Hickman Counties. All of these counties are located in western Kentucky, just north of the Tennessee border.
