Floods

Things are about to get active for much of the country in the week ahead.  

Heavy rain is expected to spread from the Southwest into the Southern Plains and Southeast.   

As strong gusts and warm temperatures once again elevate fire danger in COVID-19-ravaged Southern California this week, the Hawaiian islands have been placed under flash flood advisories. 

After a chilly winter storm smacked Texas and other parts of the Gulf Coast, a newly-formed atmospheric event will dump snow, rain, and more on the Pacific Northwest this week.

Winter storm warnings have been issued across the Midwest as the mid-Atlantic and Northeast brace for flooding and potential power outages on Christmas Eve. 

More rain and snow is forecast in Haines, Alaska, where rescue teams continue to search for two residents still missing after heavy rainfall last week set off a massive landslide that crashed into the southeastern town.

On the heels of the week's first storm system, a nor'easter named Winter Storm Dane will slam the East Coast on Friday night.  

Four people who disappeared Wednesday evening after heavy rains triggered avalanches, landslides and flooding across southeast Alaska have been found safe, according to reports. 

Nearly three dozen campers at a campground in North Carolina had to be rescued Thursday as heavy rainfall spawned dangerous flash flooding across the region.

Hurricanes are keeping their staying power longer once they make landfall, spreading more inland destruction, according to a new study.
