Millions under flood watches and heat wave warnings across U.S.

It will be a hot and wet weekend for large swathes of the U.S. with flood watches and intense heat wave warnings in place

It will be a hot and wet weekend for large swathes of the U.S. with flood watches and intense heat wave warnings in place.

Some Americans are already waking up to storms as 17 million are under flood alerts across the Gulf Coast and separately in the Mid-Atlantic.

Heavy downpours already hit overnight, drenching Arkansas, Florida and Louisiana up to the Midwest. In Washington County, Indiana, an empty RV camper was swept away in flood waters on Thursday. In Uvalde, Texas, a person died and their body was located Thursday after the vehicle they were in got swept away in flood waters off Ranch Road 187.

Kansas City, Missouri, saw a month’s worth of rain in just a few hours that turned creeks into raging torrents of water, washing away property and submerging vehicles. The city area received between five to eight inches of rain in the last 36 hours, prompting 23 high-water rescues of people trapped in their vehicles, the local fire department said Thursday.

Meanwhile Ruidoso, New Mexico, where three died in historic flash floods more than a week ago, is reeling with more rapidly rising flood waters.
