High-water Rescue Crews saved people from flooded homes and vehicles in Kentucky as flash flood warnings and watches were issued due to thunderstorms. Two children are still missing after being swept away in northeastern United States' torrential rains. The National Weather Service warned of up to 10 inches of rain in the area where Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri meet. Atmospheric scientists attribute the increasing frequency of extreme rainfall to global warming, which causes clouds to hold more moisture. The flooding has caused significant damage in Mayfield, where the overflowing Red Duck Creek usually flows towards Mayfield Creek, which feeds the Mississippi.
