Days after deadly flooding in eastern Kentucky claimed the lives of at least 25 people, more rain on Sunday will threaten some of the hardest-hit areas as rescuers are still looking for missing residents and thousands struggle to recover without cell service and power.
"The forecast is concerning, and we're watching it very closely, obviously. We also are sending out warnings and making sure everyone knows," said Col. Jeremy Slinker, the Kentucky emergency management director.
"We're preparing for it and making sure all the residents there are prepared for it because we just don't want to lose anyone else or have any more tragedy," he told CNN's Pamela Brown Saturday.
A CIA assessment circulated among US officials this week concluded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu likely judges he can get away without defining a post-war plan — even as the Biden administration has launched a full-court press to pressure him to bring an end to the conflict in Gaza.
