@sacramentourbanmedia916: At least eight people have died as severe weather continues to impact large portions of the United States, bringing deadly flash flooding, powerful thunderstorms, wildfire smoke and dangerous heat. The National Weather Service warned that severe thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds, heavy rainfall and flash flooding are expected across parts of the Carolinas, southeastern Virginia, the Tennessee Valley and the northern Plains. Additional flooding threats remain for portions of the Southwest in the days ahead. The latest fatalities follow destructive flooding across Texas, Utah and Arizona. In the Northeast, heavy rain inundated streets, flooded highways and stranded drivers around New York City, while weather-related disruptions forced airlines to cancel more than 1,200 flights. At the same time, smoke from Canadian wildfires prompted air quality alerts across several states, and forecasters warned that extreme heat will intensify across the Southeast, with heat index values potentially climbing above 110 degrees. Officials cautioned that prolonged exposure to the heat could become life-threatening, particularly for those without access to air conditioning or adequate hydration. Texas flooding Texas continues to recover after catastrophic flooding inundated parts of the Hill Country, where some communities received more than 27 inches of rain over several days. Gov. Greg Abbott warned that rivers would continue rising even after rainfall eased. State officials confirmed at least two flood-related deaths, including a 65-year-old man whose RV was swept away near Comfort and a 74-year-old man who drove into floodwaters in Uvalde County. Rescue crews also saved hundreds of people trapped by rapidly rising water. Utah and Arizona tragedies In southern Utah, five members of the same family were killed after floodwaters rushed through a canyon near Bicknell while they were hiking and canyoneering. Authorities later identified one of the victims as Provo Fire Captain Spencer Long, who died alongside family members. In Arizona, search crews recovered the body of 29-year-old Ernesto Ojeda after he was swept away by floodwaters following heavy storms. Smoke and extreme heat Wildfire smoke drifting south from Canada continues to reduce air quality across parts of the Midwest, Northeast and Pacific Northwest. Officials warn the smoky conditions pose the greatest risk to children, older adults and people with respiratory illnesses. Meanwhile, forecasters say dangerous heat will expand across the Southeast this week, creating a prolonged stretch of extreme temperatures that could increase the risk of heat-related illness.#fyp #viral
