It could take weeks to find all the victims of flash flooding that killed at least 25 people in Kentucky when torrential rains swamped towns across Appalachia, the state’s governor said.

Andy Beshear said Saturday that the number of victims was likely to rise significantly as a result of record flash flooding over the past days.
