HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Another round of torrential rain and flash flooding was expected to hit Saturday in parts of the South and Midwest already heavily waterlogged by days of severe storms that in some cases spawned deadly tornadoes.
Round after round of heavy rains have pounded the central U.S., leading to rapidly rising waterways and prompting a series of flash flood emergencies Friday night in Missouri, Texas and Arkansas. Meanwhile, many communities were still reeling from tornadoes that destroyed entire neighborhoods and killed at least seven people earlier this week.
In Frankfort, Kentucky, floodwaters swept a 9-year-old boy away while he was walking to a school bus stop Friday morning, Gov. Andy Beshear said on social media. Officials said Gabriel Andrews’ body was found about a half-mile from where he went missing.
The downtown area of Hopkinsville, Kentucky — a city of 31,000 residents 72 miles (116 kilometers) northwest of Nashville — was submerged Friday. A dozen people were rescued from homes, and dozens of pets were moved away from rising water, a fire official said.

Drown it. 
Sorry, but after they help destroy the country I once loved, I couldn't care less about them. Learn to fucking swim! 
There are good people everywhere and to wish destruction in such a generalized way is disheartening. I have great concern for my family, animals, and my home. I believe in the "grow where you are planted" attitude. Some in the heartland are fighting harder battles than one can imagine. Your encouragement is underwhelming.
Voted in overwhelming numbers for someone who admitted he wanted to be a dictator. Voted for someone who fomented an insurrection live on TV. Voted to literally destroy the Republic we loved. And I'm no stranger to that area. My people are from places like Paris TN, Paducah KY, Clarksville TN, Murray KY. But we shook the dust of red Amurka off our feet ages ago. If God can give people up to their iniquity, Romans 1:24, I sure as shit will give them up to their fascism. They sowed, let 'em reap. And don't ask for FEMA money. Go beg Donny Dumbass for crumbs.
