- UPS halted operations at Worldport, which processes 2 million packages per day, while over 200 responders fought fires and Louisville metro schools closed Wednesday as officials urged families to avoid local hospitals.
- Federal investigators said the National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation with about 28 NTSB investigators arriving Wednesday, while officials urged residents not to touch debris.
