Clouds force last-minute delay for astronaut launch to the International Space Station
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Thick clouds prompted SpaceX to call off Thursday's planned launch of four astronauts to the International Space Station for NASA. The countdown was halted at the one-minute, 7-second mark. SpaceX's next launch attempt from Kennedy Space Center is Friday, although the weather forecast is less favorable. The U.S., Japanese and Russian crew will spend at least six months at the space station, replacing colleagues launched in March as the fill-ins for NASA's two stuck astronauts. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who's temporarily leading NASA, was at Kennedy Space Center for the launch attempt. The morning started out with ideal weather, but the wind picked up and the clouds rolled in. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Department of Science Education and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

New Jersey facing another flash flood threat just weeks after deadly storms
New Jersey and much of the Tri-State Area are under a flood watch Thursday, and officials are warning residents to be careful and pay attention to conditions. Heavy rainfall will be a major concern for those living in flood-prone areas, where many are still recovering from the severe weather that hit about two weeks ago. It wasn't long ago that parts of the state were hit with the devastating flooding, and anxiety is running high for some residents as another storm approaches. The relief from this week's heat and humidity come with a price, as heavy rain is expected to hit the area and could cause flooding Thursday and Friday. Officials say potential flooding may prove to be locally severe, causing travel disruptions, property damage and the need for water rescues. More than two weeks ago, a powerful storm brought deadly flash flooding to parts of New Jersey, claiming two lives and causing extensive damage. Homeowners in Green Brook who are still recovering from that storm are now bracing for impact again. "One day at a time. It's coping strategies," Green Brook resident Joyce Fourre said. "I don't know, I hope it doesn't flood again... This is more emotional and mental." As the storm moves closer, residents are praying for some relief from Mother Nature but say they know, living in a flood zone, it's going to happen again. Then, another concern is how much flood insurance is going to cover. Officials urge residents to plan ahead, especially in low-lying areas, and to set up flood prevention tools ahead of time.

'Please let me make it through': Inside Detroit Metro Airport's flooded tunnel
The Brief Heavy rains on Monday caused significant flooding in Romulus, including the Detroit Metro Airport, which experienced a ground stop and inaccessible terminals. Over 2.5 inches of rain fell in just over an hour in Romulus, leading to major traffic backups and delays for travelers trying to enter or leave the airport. Drivers are advised to avoid flooded areas, as seen by one traveler's harrowing experience driving through deep water, and a passenger facing a two-hour delay after a long international flight. ROMULUS, Mich. (FOX 2) - When Monday's heavy rains dumped several inches of water on Southeast Michigan, Romulus was hit the hardest, with over 2.5 inches of rain in a little more than an hour. The rain fell so hard and so fast, a ground stop was issued at Detroit Metro Airport and McNamara Terminal was inaccessible due to flooding. The driver said she was leaving the Delta terminal and driving down Dingell Drive through the tunnel, as deep water was flowing. "Dear God, please let me make it through," the woman at the wheel could be heard repeating as she anxiously drove through floodwaters. She was able to get through the water, but this is highly recommended against. If you see standing water, turn around and go a different way or wait out the water. Big picture view One man added at least two hours to his road trip home to Novi after flying 30 hours from India. Massive flooding in Romulus and in tunnels leading to and from Detroit Metro Airport prompted major traffic backups and frustrating delays. Sreeni Reddy zoomed with FOX 2 from his Uber ride home to Novi after a summer vacation in India. "Somebody at the airport came in and then said both of the tunnels are flooded so nobody can get in, get out of the airport," he said. "We cross seven oceans but not two tunnels, I guess. We booked an Uber ride and then the ride kept saying 7 minutes, 10 minutes and then kept changing. We didn't know what was going on." It unfortunately got worse from there. "We were stuck at the airport for more than 90 minutes after nearly 30 hours of travel," Reddy said. The Source Information from Storyful and from previous reports on FOX 2 was used in this report.
