Heavy rainfall on Sunday across the commonwealth produced significant flash flooding in many areas, including in Russell and surrounding counties.
The most significant flash flooding in the area seemed to be in Liberty, where flooding caused the closure of Highway 127 in areas as well as Highway 70. According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the road is closed between mile marker 5 and 6, which is just east of Clementsville.
Casey County Emergency Management performed multiple water rescues yesterday afternoon, rescuing four people. Other first responders came into town to assist, rescuing pets and assisting with traffic.
Photos across social media show large amounts of standing water in Liberty. Below are a few photos submitted to WJRS of the flooding, courtesy of Melissa Lanham.
