At least 15 people have been killed across five states, including a five-year-old in Arkansas , a young boy on his way to school in Kentucky and a fire chief in Missouri assisting with search-and-rescue efforts.

A fast-moving line of storms crossed the Mississippi River late Saturday afternoon and began inundating the region.

Heavy rain was forecast to continue through the evening , raising fears of “generational” flooding that the Weather Service warned was likely.
