LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A pop-up storm sat over Louisville for more than an hour on Thursday, bringing strong winds, hail, heavy rain and flash flooding.
At WDRB, water several inches high grew in the parking lot. There were reports of the same thing happening all over the city.
WDRB sent a crew out around the city where numerous water rescues were being called out.
