Historic Flooding Cripples Eastern US, Exposing FEMA Funding Debate
A powerful storm system impacting the eastern US has caused at least one death due to flooding in Kentucky, with widespread flooding, road closures, and power outages reported across multiple states. Flash flood emergencies and tornado warnings were issued in several states, including Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee, prompting evacuations and urgent calls for residents to seek higher ground. The storm, expected to peak overnight, is also bringing heavy snow and ice to the north, creating hazardous travel conditions across a vast region. Significant damage and further casualties are possible as the storm continues.
