Flooding Problems in Louisville This Morning

11:50am UPDATE
The heaviest rain may stay just south of the Metro area but I'm not discounting anything just yet.
Here's a look at some of the operating rain gauges from MSD...

10:45am UPDATE
More moderate to heavy rain moving back in...at least in the SW part of Jefferson county KY.
Louisville Int'l already has received about 3". Record rainfall for this date is 3.54" set in 1880. If the additional heavy rains materialize, we will set a record for this date.
-------------------------
9:52am UPDATE
Dispatch reporting that a vehicle is floating towards a ditch with occupant inside...Tyler and Bardstown rd
--------------------

Several roads are being impacted from ongoing heavy rains this morning.

UofL at Central ave.
I-65 at Arthur St
Cane Run rd between Bells ln and Algonquin pkwy
11th and Hill
16th and Algonquin

Many cars submerged, mostly unattended...

Between 2 and 3" have accumulated this morning in a fairly short period of time, resulting in flash flooding with some water rescues in process.

Hmm, just saw a MSD truck go by my house...

In addition, there has been numerous power outages, most likely due to lightning strikes in the Valley Station/PRP areas. I have even noticed some tree limbs down from some brief wind gusts here in
Valley Station.

Things should quiet down after this last batch moves past the area.

We needed the rain but...really?
