What new threat is facing Kentucky and West Virginia after the deadly flooding?

Following deadly flooding that has killed more than a dozen people across Kentucky and West Virginia, the region now faces a life-threatening cold weather system. This unexpected winter threat is particularly concerning as it's affecting areas where residents typically don't need to prepare for severe winter conditions. The situation has become increasingly dangerous with roads blocked by mudslides from the initial flooding, hampering emergency response and recovery efforts. The combination of flood damage and incoming frigid temperatures creates a compounding crisis for communities already struggling with the deadly aftermath of the floods.
