Сильный шторм обрушился на южные штаты США. Проливные дожди привели к наводнениям в Техасе, Луизиане, Арканзасе и Оклахоме, сообщает USA Today. На затопленных дорогах возникли проблемы с автомобильным движением. Десятки тысяч домов остались без электроснабжения.
Не обошлось без жертв. Пока известно о 2 погибших в Техасе и Оклахоме.
В Луизиане введено чрезвычайное положение. В некоторых населенных пунктах потребовалась эвакуация жителей.
Во многих штатах проливные дожди продолжатся. Наводнения возможны на обширной территории: от побережья Мексиканского залива в штате Техас вплоть до штата Иллинойс на Среднем Западе.

BEST TO STAY OFF THE ROADWAYSThis is an example of what the Bossier Sheriff's Office is seeing on a number of our roadways in the parish. This is Caplis-Sligo about 1/4 mile from Highway 71. Water running over the roadway is indicative in a number of areas in the parish. Deputies and First Responders are doing all we can to keep people safe, but we recommend staying off the roadways if possible.(Video by Lt. Bill Davis, Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office)
