Many people have lost everything, but they don't even get goods for themselves, they are for other people in their neighborhoods.Damage to critical infrastructure and the arrival of more heavy rain hampered efforts Sunday to help Kentucky residents affected by recent massive flooding, Gov. Andy Beshear said.As Appalachian residents slowly tried to rebuild their lives, flash flood warnings were issued for at least three eastern Kentucky counties.The National Weather Service said radar indicated up to 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) of rain fell on Sunday, with more possible.Beshear said the death toll rose to 26 on Sunday from last week's storms, and that he expected it would rise significantly as it could take weeks to find all the victims.As many as 37 people were missing, according to a daily report from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.A dozen shelters opened for flood victims in Kentucky on Sunday, with 388 occupants.At a news conference in Knott County, Beshear praised the rapid arrival of the FEMA trailers, but noted the many challenges.“We have dozens of bridges that are down, making it difficult for people to get in, making it difficult to get people to water,” he said."We have entire water systems down and we are working hard to get them up."Beshear said it will still be difficult, even a week from now, "to get a solid number of people counted. It's communication issues; in some of these areas, it's also not necessarily having a firm number of how many people lived there in the first place.""A lot of people who have lost everything, but they don't even get assets for themselves, they get them for other people in their neighborhoods, making sure their neighbors are okay," Beshear said.Workers toiled nonstop through muddy sidewalks and paths."We're going to be here unless there's a deluge," said Tom Jackson, who is among the workers with a crew from Corbin, Kentucky, where he is the city's recycling director, about a two-hour drive from Hindman.His crew worked all day Saturday and the mud and debris was so thick they managed to clear an eighth of a mile of road.The water rushing down the slopes was so strong that it twisted traffic signs."I've never seen water like this," Jackson said.Attendance was low for the Sunday morning service at the First Baptist Church of Hindman.Instead, parishioners who rarely miss a service were back home tending to cleanups caused by flooding and mud.Parts of eastern Kentucky received between 8 and 10 1/2 inches (20-27 centimeters) over the 48 hours through Thursday.About 13,000 utility customers in Kentucky remained without power on Sunday, poweroutage.us reported.President Joe Biden declared a federal disaster to direct aid money to more than a dozen Kentucky counties.Last week's flooding also extended to West Virginia, where Governor Jim Justice declared a state of emergency for six southern counties, and to Virginia, where Governor Glenn Youngkin also issued an emergency declaration that allowed public officials to mobilize resources in the flooded southwestern part of the state.The rains and floods washed away even vehicles through rivers.Among the survival stories that continue to surface, a 17-year-old girl, whose Whitesburg home was flooded Thursday, put her dog in a plastic container and swam 70 yards to safety on a neighbor's roof.Chloe Adams waited for hours until dawn, before a relative arrived in a kayak and moved them to safety;first taking her dog Sandy, and then the teenager."My daughter is safe and sound tonight," her father, Terry Adams, said in a Facebook post."We lost everything today...everything except the most important thing."On a cloudy morning in downtown Hindman, about 200 miles (322 kilometers) southeast of Louisville, a crew cleared debris piled up along storefronts.Nearby, a vehicle hung upside down in Troublesome Creek, now back within its debris-strewn banks.DR © Editora DEMAR SA de CVMatías Canales Street 504 Col.
