Floods in Kentucky, victim research can last for weeks

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said on Saturday that it may take several weeks to find other possible victims of torrential floods that hit the Appalachia region.

So far the death toll has increased to 25. Mr. Beshear warned that the death toll can increase even more.

Authorities announced even greater quantities of rain on the following day.

Rescue teams have engaged in areas hit hard by floods, some of them among the poorest in the United States.

These are the biggest floods that have hit several parts of the United States this summer season, including the town of Saint Louis in the state of Mizuri earlier this week and again on Friday.
