First tonight.

The death toll continues to rise after storms and flooding in Kentucky.

The governor's office confirms a fifth death.

A 50 year old man has died in Bullitt County.

That's along with deaths in McCracken, Trigg, Nelson and Franklin counties.

Let's show you the situation today in Louisville, as the overflowing Ohio River covers streets, signs and street lights in many places.

The water covered part of the mural near the Muhammad Ali Center.

If there is any good news, things are expected to get better from here.

The river was supposed to crest today.

We also have video from the Louisville Metro Police Department.

This is video of Waterfront Park and it's from there.

It looked more like a lake than a park today.

You can see on this video.

Now let's take an aerial view.

We have drone video to show you showing you the Louisville flooding.

The National Weather Service expects the Ohio River will top out at 37ft.

More than 20ft higher than normal.

If the river gets to 37ft, it would be the eighth highest crest on record.

And the Derby City, owners of a prospect restaurant, flooded their own building on purpose with fresh water in order to keep out the muddy water.

Andrew Masterson of Captain's Quarters Riverside Grill posted video of the fresh water flood, and he explains why they did it.

Our electrical panels.

It keeps the muddy water out.

It's makes the cleanup much, much easier.

Now, it doesn't always work.

If we get a broken window, if something smashes up against the window, we can't keep that out.

And it just kind of keeps it calm.

And what little dirty water does get in here, it just kind of settles to the ground.

And, we use that debris boom out there to keep a lot of the larger debris, from floating up.

That also makes the cleanup much, much easier.

And that's kind of the key to this is, you know, trying to have as little, impact, to their business as possible and getting open as fast as possible and getting employees back to work.

Go.

And now you can see workers tried to take it in stride.

They're even seen on video, waiting in the water and floating on rafts.

Mr. Masterson tells Kentucky Edition that the restaurant ended up with 11ft of flood water.

He says that so much water, some of it did get into the building.

He says his system is not foolproof, but good efforts.
