At least five people have died in massive flooding in southern Germany | DW News
Heavy rainfall leading to severe flooding in southern Germany has killed several people and forced thousands to flee their homes. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited one of the areas hardest hit in the state of Bavaria. He said the floods were yet another indicator of the threat posed by man-made climate change.
The moment the mojo floodgates are opened.
So this is the school i went to in Cypress. It's half a hour or so from Houston. Lakes are near the school, this shows roads and the parking lot completely covered in water. Can't imagine what it's like there and most places in Houston. Be safe everybody, contact rescuers and please take advantage of resources, help out if you can, stay in and stay safe! Luckily i'm in a 3rd floor apartment in South Houston, roads are flooded around me but i am safe. Stay strong Houston.
6/19/26 - It's not over. More rain in the forcast.
This video, created by Jonathan Petramala, examines the dangers posed by Tropical Storm Arthur in Louisiana and Mississippi. The key takeaway is that the classification of a tropical system by wind speed (the category) often leads people to underestimate the severity of the water-related hazards, which can be catastrophic regardless of the label.
Key sections of the video include:
The Flash Flood Emergency (01:24 - 04:16): The video documents severe flooding, including a flash flood emergency—one of the rarest and most dangerous alerts issued by the National Weather Service. It shows firsthand accounts of people whose homes were suddenly submerged and the necessity of emergency boat rescues.
The Trap of Underestimation (04:17 - 05:07): A discussion on how residents often compare storms to major events like Hurricane Katrina. Because Arthur was "only" a tropical storm, many were unprepared for the sheer volume of water it produced, which caused more damage for some than previous major hurricanes.
Tornado Threats (05:14 - 06:52): The storm spawned rain-wrapped tornadoes, including one that crossed Lake Pontchartrain toward Slidell. The footage highlights the chaos on the interstate as drivers reacted to the threat.
Dam Integrity and Lingering Dangers (06:52 - 08:09): Officials warned of the potential for critical failure at the Anchor Lake Dam due to excessive rainfall, with some areas receiving over 20 inches. The video emphasizes that even after the rain stops, rivers can continue to rise, posing ongoing risks.
Final Reflections (08:09 - 08:39): The video concludes by reiterating that for those who lose their homes to flooding or face life-threatening rescues, the category of the storm is irrelevant—the water is what matters.
At least eight people were confirmed dead Thursday after heavy rains caused massive flooding across eastern Kentucky, leaving people stranded on rooftops and others without power or water as forecasts call for even more rain.

Understanding global society's vulnerability is critical for understanding historical trends in flood risk and producing accurate projections of fatalities and losses.
Flooding is the most commonly declared type of natural disaster. Dredging a stream was once thought to be an effective and long-term way to reduce flood levels. Flooding may have a terrible effect on wildlife, causing drowning, disease proliferation, and habitat destruction.
