Gulf Coast Floods and Midwest Storm Aftermath

Tropical Storm Arthur’s leftovers are dumping torrential rain on the Gulf Coast, triggering flash floods and tornado warnings in Louisiana and Mississippi—with some spots getting three inches per hour and tens of thousands without power. Forecasters warn the deluge could last days and be deadly. Meanwhile, the Midwest still reels from Wednesday’s violent storms that brought possible tornadoes, destroyed homes, and knocked out power across Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky, leaving over 130,000 without electricity. In New Orleans, residents and officials are bracing with sandbags, boats, and barricades as the National Weather Service predicts 4-8 inches—or more—of rain through Friday, following earlier heavy downpours in Texas.
