Flooding In Tennessee Damages Countless Cars
Read the full story on The Auto Wire Flooding in Chattanooga, Tennessee made a mess of roads, flooding countless cars and causing widespread destruction. Even worse, at the time this article was written, the death toll was at four individuals, a number which likely will more rain forecasted for the area by the National Weather Service, the flooding is expected to worsen before it gets better. That has officials pleading with people to stay home instead of trying to traverse flooded roads. Numerous streets and neighborhoods are flooded, with cars abandoned as drivers who thought they could make it were forced to leave their rides. Even more shocking, sections of Interstate 24 by the Georgia border have become impassible, thanks to high waters and stalled out cars. Footage taken by a bystander and shared on social media site X shows a man breaking the back window on an SUV to rescue a woman trapped inside. The water comes up to the man's neck as the vehicle floats helplessly in the floodwaters. One of the deceased was found in floodwaters as rescuers searched for someone else who was swept away, reports Chattanooga Times Free Press. The other three deaths were from a family who were in their car when a tree fell on it. The best way to not get into a bad situation when a road is flooded is to not drive down it. Many times, drivers believe the water they're headed towards is shallower than it really is, only realizing once they're literally in too deep that they're in trouble. Everyone should have a glass break in their car, just in case they end up in a situation where they need to escape through a window quickly. Most vehicles will float for a few minutes before they start to sink, and that's when you want to get out. Image via X Join our Newsletter, subscribe to our YouTube page, and follow us on Facebook.

Thunderstorm warnings issued for parts of the country amid ongoing heatwave
Weather warnings have been issued for thunderstorms across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland as the fourth heatwave of the summer continues. The Met Office has issued a yellow thunderstorm warning for large part of north-eastern Scotland, where it said up to 70mm of rain could fall in two hours. A yellow thunderstorm warning has also been issued for the eastern part of Northern Ireland, which could see up to 50mm of rain. Flood alerts have also been issued for Scotland. In both areas the Met Office has warned of difficult driving conditions and possible disruption to public transport and power supplies, and of a risk of flooding to homes and businesses. The forecaster also said fast-flowing or deep floodwater could pose a danger to life. Both yellow thunderstorm warnings are in place until 10pm on Thursday. It comes as heat health alerts were extended into next week for much of England. The UK Health Security Agency said yellow warnings will now be in place for Yorkshire and Humber, the East and West Midlands, London and the South East, South West and east of England until 6pm on August 18. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency said heavy thundery showers or rain may affect the region on Thursday, with a risk of significant localised flooding from surface water and smaller rivers. Heavy rain and thunder hit London and Kent on Wednesday. But officials have said England is suffering from 'nationally significant' water shortfalls. The national drought group, which includes the Met Office, regulators, government, water companies and other organisations, has met as five areas of the country remain in drought, with six more in prolonged dry weather status. On Thursday there will be residual showers and isolated thunderstorms across the South East, gradually clearing, and lightning, hail and heavy rain drifting northwards from Scotland into the Northern Isles. Paul Gundersen, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: 'Some areas will continue to experience their fourth heatwave of the summer so far, with Thursday remaining warm or very warm for many, though cooler near coasts. 'Temperatures could still reach 30C in eastern England, though many areas will be a few degrees cooler than earlier in the week.' Northern England will have patchy rain and cloud on Friday while southern England will enjoy sunshine and temperatures of up to 31C. The weekend should be dry and sunny for most parts of the UK, climbing to 30C on Saturday and 29C on Sunday in south-west England.
