The US is experiencing severe summer weather with heavy rain and flash flooding affecting millions of people. In North Carolina and Virginia, the rain is causing significant disruptions. Meanwhile, in Utah, a wall of water swept across a highway, overtaking homes and buildings. The storms are also causing flight delays and cancellations, and have even turned deadly in Ohio.
In New York City, fast-rising floodwaters swallowed subway stations and streets, stranding people. First responders had to guide them to safety. The bad weather is also causing major disruptions to daily life, with many cities experiencing unhealthy air quality due to Canadian wildfires. The air quality alerts remain in effect, with experts advising people to limit their outdoor activities.
The weather forecast indicates that the bad weather will continue, with a strong cold front pushing down from Canada, bringing severe weather and a risk of tornadoes. The tropical depression in the Gulf of Mexico is also being monitored, with the potential to become a tropical storm or even a hurricane. The situation is being closely watched, with many people bracing for the worst.
