At 1129 PM EST, Doppler radar indicated that intense rainfall had

Numerous water rescues are in progress across the Louisville metro

due to high water.  Many metro creeks and streams are flooding due
to the excessive runoff. The St. Matthews area of Louisville has
been particularly hard hit with flash flooding this evening.

A FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY remains in effect for the Louisville Metro

NOW!

Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Louisville, Jeffersonville, New Albany, Jeffersontown, St. Matthews,
Shively, Shepherdsville, Lyndon, Middletown and Douglass Hills.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Move to higher ground now. This is an extremely dangerous and
life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are
fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order.

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.
