Storms and Floods

Tropical Storms

No current tropical storms.

NewsBytes:

USA - Flash floods closed sections of interstates in Ohio as a system of thunderstorms deluged the Midwest on Wednesday afternoon and evening. Storm heads for the Southern Plains, but won’t end drought. A large, low-pressure system cut off from the jet stream has formed over the Southwest and looks to bring several inches of rain to the Southern Plains. It will slowly trundle across the region over the next few days, pulling up juicy, moisture-laden air from over the Gulf of Mexico. Included in the areas that could see rain are the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma, two areas that have been in a drought for several years and are currently in extreme and exceptional drought.

Balkans - The widespread catastrophic floods in the Balkans are receding, leaving billions in damages to be dealt with by the fragile Balkan economies.
