Floodwaters submerge Midwest neighborhoods bracing for more severe storms
Muddy floodwaters seeped into the homes of Indiana and Ohio residents this week, as severe storms struck the Midwest. Now, some areas are bracing for even more rain.
Floodwaters continue to submerge neighborhoods in the Midwest, with Indiana experiencing its highest daily rainfall totals ever recorded. Meteorologists warn that the region may face more severe storms throughout the week, with up to 36 million people under flood alerts. Over 277 flash flooding incidents have been reported since Monday, leading to seven flash flood emergencies and power outages for a quarter of a million people in Indiana and Illinois.
The region's major interstate highway, I-70, has been partially shut down due to buckling under the weight of the rain.
