In Pikeville, Kentucky, a town with a population of roughly 7,000 people, "nearly every home" in one neighborhood saw flooding impacts, the mayor said.

Pikeville was spared the worst of the 2022 floods. But the Eastern Kentucky community was rocked this weekend as heavy rain ripped through the region.

At least eight people have died in Kentucky as creeks swelled from heavy rain and water covered roads. Governor Andy Beshear said hundreds of stranded people had to be rescued. President Donald Trump approved the state’s request for a disaster declaration.
