Andy Beshear described the storm as "one of most serious weather events" the state has seen in a decade. At a news conference on Monday, Beshear said the death toll had risen to 11 and told reporters he fears it will continue to grow.

Another winter storm will hit the U.S. this week and will bring snow to Kentucky, after the state was hit with devastating flooding over the weekend that killed 11 and prompted over 1,000 rescues.
