Louisville Hit By Flooding

{Louisville, Kentucky}...Emergency workers rescued U.S. Representative John Yarmuth's mother from a creek swollen by heavy rains Tuesday after a strong thunderstorm swept through the Louisville area, producing lightning that sparked an apartment complex fire near the University of Louisville. Portions of the campus were swamped by flash flooding that seeped into some buildings and caused daytime classes to be canceled. Yarmuth's mother, 85 year old Edna Yarmuth, was rescued from Goose Creek after her vehicle was partly submerged in the swift current following a crash.
