Iowa Experiences Devastating Flooding Amid Widespread Heatwave Across the United States
ai generated text
A severe weather event is affecting Iowa, with sirens blaring at 2am in Rock Valley, a city of approximately 4,200 residents, as the Rock River could no longer take rain that has slammed the region. In response, Governor Kim Reynolds has declared a disaster for 21 counties in northern Iowa. Meanwhile, the rest of the US is still grappling with a record-setting heat wave, with temperatures 10-15 degrees above average in the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic regions. Additionally, triple-digit temperatures are expected in central and southern California, Arizona, and Utah.
An intense heat wave will continue across the Mid-Atlantic, where record high temperatures are likely.
Severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall are likely across portions of the Northeast.
Intense rain has had catastrophic effects. Flooding has left entire communities under feet of water, causing severe damage to property and numerous road closures.
Even though the rain is slowing down, we need to keep vigilant.
The worst of the flooding along our rivers will be Monday and Tuesday.
