A mother and her 7-year-old daughter are among at least nine people dead in Kentucky after severe flooding struck the state, officials said on Sunday.

The mother and child were swept away Saturday night in Kentucky’s Bonnieville community after their vehicle was completely submerged in floodwater, Hart County Coroner Tony Roberts said.

Roberts said the child’s body was recovered later Saturday night, while Hart County Search and Rescue said the mother’s body was recovered Sunday afternoon, WNKY-TV reported. The identities of the mother and child were not immediately released.

Most of the deaths in Kentucky were caused by cars getting stuck in high water, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said Sunday.

“So folks, stay off the roads right now and stay alive,” he said. “This is the search and rescue phase, and I am very proud of all the Kentuckians that are out there responding, putting their lives on the line.”

Beshear said there have been 1,000 rescues across the state since the storms began Saturday. The storms knocked out power to about 39,000 homes, but Beshear warned that harsh winds in some areas could increase outages.
