Flood in Henderson County, Kentucky

Minor flooding occurred along the Ohio River in Henderson County. Some low-lying fields were underwater. A few river access roads were underwater. At the end of a secondary road near the confluence of the Green and Ohio Rivers, a 70-year-old man drowned after driving into floodwaters. The man was discovered by a sheriff's deputy on March 24 while on routine patrol. The water was close to chest deep when the deputy located him. It appeared the victim's truck had stalled in the water and that he attempted to walk out. The victim did not have a phone in his possession. County dispatch was notified of his stalled truck on March 22, but nobody was found during a search by rescue squad personnel.
