Hurricane Erin brings coastal flooding to N. Carolina, Virginia
WASHINGTON — Hurricane Erin brought coastal flooding to parts of North Carolina and Virginia as it made its closest approach to the US mainland early Thursday. High waves washed over Highway 12 that links the Outer Banks island chain, making parts impassable, images posted by local authorities showed -- proving the giant storm's ability to kick up dangerous seas hundreds of miles from its center. Though the Mid-Atlantic bore the brunt of the impacts, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) urged beach goers throughout the entire East Coast to refrain from swimming to avoid being caught in potentially life-threatening conditions. In a morning update, the NHC said Category 2 Erin was packing winds of 105 miles (169 kilometers) per hour and creeping slowly north-northeast. It is expected to weaken as it moves further out to sea in the next couple of days. The Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30, has entered its historical peak. Despite a relatively quiet start with just five named storms so far including Erin, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration continues to forecast an above-normal season. Scientists say climate change is supercharging tropical cyclones: warmer oceans fuel stronger winds, a warmer atmosphere intensifies rainfall, and higher sea levels magnify storm surge. There is also some evidence, though less certainty, that climate change is making hurricanes more frequent.

Floods in Niger kill at least 47, impact thousands
KIGALI, Rwanda - At least 47 people have been killed and over 56,000 displaced by flooding triggered by recent heavy rains in Niger, authorities said Wednesday. The floods have affected 7,754 households in 339 neighborhoods and villages, according to the General Directorate of Civil Protection. 'Some 30 people died after their houses collapsed while 17 drowned. In addition, the floods injured 70 people and caused the deaths of 257 head of cattle,' the directorate said in a statement. The national committee in charge of flood prevention said it has started distributing food aid, targeting 3,776 families. The government has set aside 12 billion CFA francs ($21.3 million) to help families and individuals affected by floods across the country, according to authorities. Flooding has emerged as one of the most destructive natural disasters globally, with Africa facing disproportionate impacts due to climate change, which has altered rainfall patterns. In 2024, heavy rains impacted nearly 1.5 million Nigeriens in the country's eight regions.
