The number of deaths in the United States' (US) eastern Kentucky state increased to at least 16 as "epic" torrential rains ripped down homes, wiped out highways, and drove rivers over their banks, state officials said, warning that more deaths were likely. On Friday, President Joe Biden designated the Kentucky floods as a major disaster, allowing federal funds to be disbursed to the state.
