Central US braces for ''generational flooding'' as repeated rounds of rain pummel several states
[NYPOST] Potentially historic flooding is underway Thursday in the Mississippi and Ohio valleys, as repeated rounds of rain pummel several states in America's heartland. More than a foot of rain could fall on the region by Sunday. This is the same part of the country that was devastated by a deadly tornado outbreak Wednesday. A stalled front draped over the central US will bring continuous rain and storms through the weekend, causing both a flood threat and a severe weather threat. The National Weather Service offices in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Paducah, Kentucky, have highlighted a particularly dangerous and life-threatening flash flooding situation. FLOODING ALREADY HAPPENING Parts of Tennessee and Kentucky have already been inundated ahead of the additional rain that is forecast. Hopkinsville, Kentucky, was flooded early Friday. City officials told FOX Weather that approximately 60% of the downtown was underwater, and a building had collapsed due to the heavy rain. A woman had to be rescued from floodwaters in her home and another from a car. Posted by: Fred 2025-04-05 |
