YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Joe Biden saw firsthand on Monday what he described as "incredibly heartbreaking" devastation inflicted by recent flash floods that killed at least 37 people in southeastern Kentucky and left a path of destruction across several counties.

Biden's motorcade wound along Lost Creek in Breathitt County, whose banks were strewn with flood detritus including building materials and clothing. A plastic laundry basket was lodged high in a tree. A prefabricated home was twisted and lifted off the ground along its axis. A large red "X" was painted on its side.

The motorcade stopped briefly at a site where a school bus, carried by floodwaters, was crashed into partially-collapsed building.
