Roads impassable and many houses destroyed, as Kamala Harris announces $1bn to deal with disasters worsened by climate crisis
Heavy rain has pummeled Kentucky once again, raising fears of further devastating flooding that has already killed 30 people, with hundreds more still missing.
Rainfall of up to two inches an hour was anticipated in some parts of eastern Kentucky on Monday, with the ground already waterlogged from the overnight downpour. With the saturated ground unable to soak up more water, bridges have collapsed under the weight of flooding, isolating towns and communities and hampering rescue missions.
