Much of the commonwealth remains under flood watches or warnings Sunday morning after some areas received more than 6 inches of rain within a 48-hour period.

Nine people have died following dangerous flooding in the state, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has confirmed.

Storms have overwhelmed the state in recent years. On top of the floods, snow is expected soon. Sheets of rain drenched Kentucky in recent days, causing floods that turned roads and neighborhoods into rivers in a part of the country that has been pummeled by severe weather in recent years.
