A woman in Kentucky was killed in flash flooding during heavy rain overnight that left about 10 people trapped in their homes and sent cars floating down streets, an official said. “The water had come up so quick that it washed the back end of her trailer away, and she was trapped in it,” Mr. Denton said. “We knew there was a possibility of rain, but nothing like this. I’ve lived here for 76 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this.”Mr. Denton said that within about an hour, parts of the area were flooded by about six feet of water. Crews had rescued about 10 people trapped in their houses early Friday, and fast-rising water had entered 25 to 35 houses, he said.
