LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- An elderly woman's body was found five miles downstream from her house after flash flooding in southern Indiana and parts of Kentucky on Saturday evening.

The Jefferson County Emergency Management Agency said the woman's body was washed away along East Brushy Fork Road. This was near Manville, Indiana, where other houses were also washed away. 

"A friend of ours tried to get her out of the house and she didn’t want to go. All I know is it took her house and barn, Kim Schultz, who lives in the area said. 

"I’ve never seen anything like this and I hope to God I never see it again." 

Local rain gauges reported over nine inches of rain in three hours. There were initially five people unaccounted for but by 8 p.m. on Saturday, four of them were located, then the victim was found.

Gary Imel said he was swept away in the water trying to get to his farm equipment and livestock — it carried him about 100 yards before he ran into a a tree. 

"It's the worst I've ever seen and I'm over 60 years old," he said. 

State Road 250 was closed at the bridge over Indian Creek near Pleasant and Bennington in Switzerland County due to flood damage that occurred.

The initial assessment of Brushy Fork Road in the morning showed 20 homes involved, two homes destroyed and three others with minor damage. 

As of Sunday evening, many of the roads and bridges along the creek remained impassable and had severe damage.

Many neighbors — who still do not have power — spent Sunday discussing the damage and helping each other.  

"I’ve cried, I’ve prayed and I’ve done a little bit of everything but this is going to stay with me for a long time," Schultz said.
