Associated Press FRANKFORT, Ky. — Another round of storms hit disaster areas in eastern Kentucky on Monday and the death toll rose to 30 as search and rescue operations continue in communities trying to recover from massive flooding, Gov Andy Beshear said.Hundreds of people remain unaccounted for, Beshear said. More than 12,000 customers remained without power, many because their homes and businesses have been destroyed or aren't fit for habitation. Shelters were housing at least 300 people.
Meanwhile, nighttime curfews were declared in response to reports of looting in two of the devastated communities — Breathitt County and the nearby city of Hindman in Knott County. Hindman Mayor Tracy Neice also also announced a curfew Sunday night, from sunset to sunrise, due to"excessive looting," WYMT-TV reported. Both curfews will remain in place until further notice, officials said.
