We told you last week about a child swept away by floodwaters in Franklin County.
Now a woman has died in Nelson County.
There's now a missing person in McCracken County, according to Governor Andy Beshear s office.
And the governor's office is warning people this isn't over.
I just want to stress that we do not want to lose another individual, and whether or not we do is going to mainly depend on the decisions that people make here until the event is over.
Remember, this event is not over until the waters have receded, until the areas that have flooded are fully dry.
Until we don't have saturated ground, that could create mudslides over, roads and bridges.
And so I'm asking everybody, just be careful.
We're now just looking probably at a period of days, maybe the rest of this week.
But remember, if those waters are receding, it is still dangerous to drive your car through them.
In February, storms when we lost 24 Kentuckians.
Many of those could have been avoided.
So to everybody out there, remember being there tomorrow.
Being there next week with your family is a lot more important than trying to get to where you're going.
Do not drive through water.
Do not move barricades.
Because remember, if you do that, you're not just making a bad decision for yourself.
You could cause, harm or even death to that next person that comes along.
Transportation Secretary Jim Gray says there were 538 state roads closed as of this morning because of flooding, and that's just state roads.
That number does not include city and county roads.
Kentucky is getting help from other states in dealing with this flooding.
Vermont, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland have all sent teams to Kentucky.
