Severe Storms and Flooding Ravage US South and Midwest, Claiming 18 Lives

Severe storms and rising rivers have wreaked havoc across the US South and Midwest, resulting in at least 18 fatalities. The deadly weather system, which began over the weekend, has caused widespread flooding and destruction, with rivers swelling to dangerous levels and threatening communities in the affected regions.

According to reports from The Guardian, CNN, Al Jazeera, and The New York Times, the storms have led to flash flooding, power outages, and the evacuation of residents in several states. The National Weather Service has issued flood warnings and advisories, urging people to stay away from swollen rivers and to be prepared for further flooding as the situation continues to evolve.

Rescue operations are underway, with emergency services working tirelessly to save those trapped by the rising waters. The impact of these storms has been felt across multiple states, with significant damage reported in areas such as Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri.
