Major Flooding in Louisville

Heaviest rainfall for a 24-hour period in a few years for Louisville.

Nearly 5.75" has fallen since 10:00am yesterday. This has produced several high water issues across Jefferson County, including water rescues and road closures along with accidents, possibly due to ponding and hydroplaning.

In a separate issue, a large employer's building was burning out of control this morning. General Electric's Building 6 will be a total loss.

________________

4:45pm Update

Since yesterday, 5-8" has fallen across Louisville Metro. Some locations have seen almost 7" just today, since Midnight.
