This is what Grok has to say. Some of the stuff Grok come up with is iffy but this sounds pretty solid.
diquat, a chemical compound used as a herbicide and plant desiccant. Diquat (C12H12Br2N2) is a toxic, non-selective contact herbicide commonly used to control aquatic weeds and desiccate crops like potatoes and cotton before harvest. It works by disrupting photosynthesis and is highly toxic if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin, potentially causing nausea, organ damage, neurological symptoms, or even death. No antidote exists for diquat poisoning.

The storm was forecast to move through but it didn’t, had it done so the rain would have been spread over a much wider area and the flooding would not have been concentrated.

Unfortunately out of state realtors and developers couldn’t care less about flood plains and flash floods as long as they make a sale. Add immigrants and refugees from blue states and bad things can happen.
