In Kentucky and West Virginia, governors Andy Beshear and Patrick Morrisey declared states of emergency. In Hazard, Kentucky, the North Fork Kentucky River crested at , the worst flooding seen since 1984. Water rescues are underway in parts of Kentucky. The storm also knocked out power to over 39,000 homes in Kentucky, as the flood waters covered roadways as the North Fork Kentucky River crested 14 feet above flood stage. Beshear wrote to Donald Trump requesting an emergency disaster declaration, which was approved. Police in Pike County, Kentucky reported that the city of Pikeville was inaccessible due to flooded roadways. The Levisa Fork in Pike County crested at 46.68 feet, severely damaging Pikeville High School and homes along the river. At least three people in Pike County died during the floods.

In Kentucky, governor Andy Beshear confirmed at least 14 people were dead, and over 1,000 people were rescued from the floods. Among the deaths were a mother and child who were swept away in flood waters in Hart County, and an elderly man who attempted to drive through flood waters in Clay County. Beshear also stated that the number of fatalities is likely to rise. The 12 deaths occurred in the counties of Hart, Pike, Washington, Clay, Floyd, and Nelson. After the flooding, a winter storm brought snow and cold temperatures to Kentucky which could potentially stop recovery efforts.

West Virginia In Southern West Virginia, governor Patrick Morrisey declared a state of emergency in 13 counties, and confirmed that there were three deaths in McDowell County and several missing persons. Major flooding on the Tug Fork and Bluestone River led to evacuations and road damage as flood waters covered roads. The flood also left more than 54,000 people without power. The West Virginia National Guard was deployed to conduct rescues. Williamson, West Virginia experienced major flooding as the Tug Fork was expected to crest at 49 feet (14.9 m), three feet above flood stage. A flood wall protected the downtown area from major damage, but other parts of the city and other areas in Mingo County had major damage. The record for Williamson is 52.6 feet (16 m). In Kermit, West Virginia, the Tug Fork was expected to crest at 51 feet (15.5 m), two feet above major flood level. More than 50 people were rescued in Mingo County. Morrisey confirmed three deaths in the state, with others still missing.

Tennessee and Virginia In Virginia, the Virginia National Guard deployed about 55 soldiers distributed commodities in communities affected by flooding, and water rescues were underway in the Richlands area in Tazewell County, Virginia, where they rescued 51 people, 17 dogs, and 8 cats. Water rescues were also conducted in the community of Hurley, Virginia. Hurley previously suffered a disastrous flood in 2002 which nearly destroyed it. Overall, over 100 people have been rescued from high water in Southwest Virginia.

In Tennessee, residents were pressured to evacuate after flooding led to the failure of a levee on the Obion River, as over seven inches of rain caused floods in the state. Obion County mayor Steve Carr issued a mandatory evacuation order and declared a state of emergency. The National Weather Service declared a flash flood emergency for Rives, Tennessee, downstream from where the levee failed. Flood waters also covered roads and citizens were urged not to drive in flood waters.

The Clayton County jail temporarily lost power during the storm. Around 42,000 customers lost power in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area during the storm, and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge was forced to close. Wind gusts reached 76 mph (122 km/h) at Camp David, and 59 mph (95 km/h) in Baltimore. Further north, a women was killed due to high winds in Philadelphia.
