Drone footage recorded by an eyewitness on Sunday captured flooding in Pikeville, Kentucky, as rising waters affect scores of residents in the region.

According to local media, at least 11 people have died across the state due to the flooding. Among the victims were a mother and her 7-year-old child, who were swept away on Saturday (February 15) night when their vehicle was caught in floodwaters on Campground Road in Bonnieville, Hart County.

Reuters was able to independently verify the location by the shape and position of the riverbed, train tracks, mountains and buildings that match the satellite and file imagery of the area. The date was verified by original file metadata from the source.
