At least four people have been killed and others remain missing after dangerous flash flooding impacted Wheeling and surrounding communities in West Virginia this weekend. West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey provided a somber update on Facebook Sunday afternoon when he announced the deaths due to the flooding event that took place. Morrisey said at least four people died during the flooding, including a 3-year-old child. "There were roughly 3 to 4 inches of water that fell in the area in less than an hour. That's very, very difficult to deal with," Morrisey said as he commended the first responders attempting...

A staggering 75 percent of Democrats do not believe President Joe Biden’s deputies deliberately kept the border open for migrants, according to a February poll by Harvard Harris. The February 19-20 poll of 2,443 registered voters comes just weeks after President Donald Trump deliberately shut down Biden’s destructive, expensive, and deadly migration during his first few hours in the White House. Fifty-two percent of Americans and 80 percent of Republicans recognize Biden’s Democrats — led by pro-migration border chief Alejandro Mayorkas — deliberately encouraged the inflow of up to nine million southern migrants.

On Monday, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) said that while there are changes that need to be made to FEMA, the agency has been fully cooperative with helping the state out with the recent flooding in Kentucky, the state’s disaster declaration for the floods was turned around by President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “in near record time”, and Trump, Noem, “and FEMA are doing a great job here with us right now.” On “CBS Mornings,” Beshear said, “[L]et me give credit to the Trump administration. We have seen FEMA operating just like they did in the...

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., released a blistering 92-minute video condemning the Trump administration and advising followers on how to resist it. Ocasio-Cortez did a livestream on Tuesday where she lamented the Trump administration’s numerous initiatives, telling her followers, "The first order of business is to self-regulate. What authoritarian regimes try to do is that they often try to, what is known as ‘flood the zone,’ do so much at once or try to do so much at once that it gets carried in the news, that you are that you feel overwhelmed and paralyzed." She added further in her...

[Video] Robert F. Kennedy Jr. denied Gov. Josh Green’s allegation that he caused many deaths in Samoa by discouraging the measles vaccine. HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -- Gov. Josh Green was in the U.S. Capitol hearing room Wednesday while Robert F. Kennedy Jr. denied Green’s allegation that he caused many deaths in Samoa by discouraging the measles vaccine. Green responded with profanity on national television. Speaking on CNN and MSNBC cable outlets after the hearing, the governor was clearly angry. It was understandable because during his confirmation hearing, RFK Jr. basically called Green a liar. Kennedy, who was nominated by President Donald...

The Johnstown Flood Museum in downtown Johnstown has been closed indefinitely due to flooding caused by a valve failure on the building's third floor, museum officials said.

The damage primarily involves carpets, drywall, and ceiling tiles, which need to be dried out or replaced.

Discoveries in Southeast Sicily reveal the massive scale of the Zanclean Megaflood, which refilled the Mediterranean Sea and ended the dry, salt flat-dominated landscape of the Messinian Salinity Crisis in a remarkably short period. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com In a groundbreaking study, researchers unveiled compelling evidence of the Zanclean Megaflood, a colossal event that refilled the Mediterranean Sea in mere years, reshaping its landscape with unprecedented water flow and velocities. This event, which ended the Messinian Salinity Crisis, altered the geological and environmental makeup of the region, leaving lasting imprints that challenge previous theories about gradual changes.

What happens when an atmospheric river and a “bomb cyclone” happen at the same time? Unfortunately, millions of people living on the west coast are about to find out. Extremely high winds, massive amounts of rain, and blizzard conditions in the mountains are being forecast for the days ahead, but nobody is quite sure exactly how this extremely unusual weather event is going to play out.

It’s hard to believe the great Flood of 1916 that ravaged Western North Carolina took place over 100 years ago. The Flood still lives on in the hearts and minds of Asheville area citizens, and it is still known as ‘the flood to end all floods’. The Asheville Citizen, using a borrowed gasoline engine to run its presses, described the devastation caused by The Flood in its July 17, 1916, edition:“Exacting an unknown toll of death, with a property loss exceeding three million dollars, Asheville today is absolutely isolated from the outside world, is a city of darkness void of...

The total apathy of the Biden administration (sic) regarding the unprecedented destruction caused by Hurricane Helene in Appalachia shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. It is certainly not a surprise to the Biden administration. Joe Biden himself might be surprised to hear about it since he is a desiccated, mindless zombie masquerading as a human being by wearing the husk of what once was a mediocre and moronic human being. But the people actually running the country right now? They’re not surprised. Ignoring this disaster is a conscious choice by those in the Biden administration. You need to understand...

Canisteo, N.Y. (WHAM)— Steuben County residents are speaking out for the first time after Gov. Kathy Hochul announced emergency cash funding for families over the weekend. Canisteo residents who spoke with 13WHAM say they were promised funds after damaging floods brought by remnants of Debby hit their town last week. But now, they are discovering they do not qualify. William Weakland and his neighbor, Kate Bowie, are both staying with relatives after flooding took their homes. "Everyone that was there was extremely sympathetic, and their promises felt sincere," Weakland said. "We got out the front door got in the truck...

Hurricane Debby left billions of dollars of damage in its wake as it moved across the southeastern U.S. last week — losses made all the more devastating because so many of them may have been uninsured. More than three-quarters of the houses damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Debby were in regions where flood insurance isn’t required, a new report from nonprofit First Street Foundation has found. That’s because nearly $10 billion of the slow-moving storm’s estimated $12.3 billion in damage happened in regions outside the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) designated Flood Zones. FEMA’s flood maps dictate where homeowners are...

Torrential rain turned streets into rivers, while one local river went from 5 to 17 feet in just a few hours, overflowing its banks.

Tropical Storm Debby has made a second landfall near Bulls Bay, South Carolina as Debby slowly moves up the Eastern Seaboard and unleashes a dangerous flood threat for millions of Americans. The death toll from Debby has risen to six after the latest news of a boater in Gulfport, Florida, was killed while trying to ride out the storm. President Joe Biden has approved emergency declarations for Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida. These declarations authorize FEMA to provide federal assistance to save lives, protect property and ensure public health and safety.

Tropical Storm Debby is moving back over water where it could restrengthen some off the Southeast coast, but its main threat continues to be potentially historic heavy rainfall that could produce catastrophic flooding in parts of the Southeast the next several days. D​ebby's moisture will also fuel a threat of flooding rain in the Northeast U.S. in the days ahead. H​ere's where Debby is now and where it will head next. Debby is centered near Tybee Island, Georgia, as a tropical storm. Its shield of rain extends from southeast Georgia and extreme northeast Florida to much of South Carolina, eastern...

Tropical Storm Beryl is making a slow, ruinous passage out of Houston, where it is flooding highways and knocking out power lines. As of 3 p.m. local time Monday, as the eye of the storm moved over the western Houston suburbs, more than 2.7 million Texans were without power, according to tracking site PowerOutage.us. Much of the already flood-prone city has experienced 5 to 8 inches of rain, with some particularly unlucky neighborhoods experiencing more than 10, according to Harris County’s Flood Warning System. Homes in Houston’s lower-income northeast have flooded, one nonprofit told The Hill, as have many of...
