Aerial views of Kentucky River and Eagle Creek flooded after several days of heavy rains on February 26.

The Kentucky River, a tributary of the Ohio River, had experienced high floodwaters after record-breaking rainfall over the course of several days when a powerful storm system tore across the South and Central United States.

The storm has caused widespread flooding and one F-2 tornado near Clarksville, TN.

At at least 20 people had to be rescued from cars and buildings affected by the floods, according to reports.
