Storms and floods claim 16 lives in the U.S.
Heavy rains and hurricane-force winds hit the South and Midwest. Flood alerts issued from Texas to Ohio.
At least 16 people have died due to severe storms and flooding sweeping across the southern and central United States. Torrential rains and hurricane-force winds have continued for several days, with Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio among the hardest-hit states. Tennessee alone has confirmed 10 fatalities.
The storms caused rapid river swelling and widespread flooding. Dozens of counties have issued catastrophic flood warnings. The U.S. National Weather Service forecasts continued rainfall in the coming days and warns of further flooding of roads, bridges, homes, and public buildings.
The crisis is worsened by a staffing shortage at the National Weather Service. After workforce cuts under the previous administration, nearly half of the agency’s offices are operating with limited personnel, hampering the timely processing of critical data and coordination with emergency services.
Local authorities have deployed National Guard units and emergency crews to evacuate residents from danger zones and assist those affected. Temporary shelters have been set up in several areas. Rescue teams continue search operations in flooded regions, as worsening weather remains a concern.
