Heavy rain causes flooding on Lexington roads

LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC36 NEWS NOW) — It’s been pouring across Central Kentucky all morning, and the rain is starting to take a toll on local roads.

Bermuda Avenue in Lexington is one of several areas seeing flooding as water continues to rise from the heavy downpours. Drivers are being urged to slow down, use caution, and avoid flooded streets whenever possible.

Officials remind everyone: never attempt to drive through standing water — it only takes a few inches to stall a car or sweep it off the roadway.
