What the source measured
NOAA reported: Flash Flood Warning issued June 26 at 5:05PM CDT until June 26 at 11:15PM CDT by NWS Paducah KY

How we know
6 recorded sources include NOAA; independence is not established by this count.
Our own score for this event is 39 out of 100.
This is our versioned heuristic index, not source severity or a calibrated probability. Urban PEI does not count unique people.
Computed under scoring rules v1. Rows carrying other versions were judged by different rules and are not directly comparable.

Safety Information
During flooding: never walk, swim, or drive through floodwaters. Six inches of moving water can knock you down, and one foot of water can sweep away a vehicle. Move to higher ground if waters rise. After flooding, avoid contact with floodwater which may contain sewage, chemicals, or debris. Follow local emergency service guidance.
