Tropical Storm Claudette: Floods rise in the southeastern US | Weather News

Forecasters have warned of severe flooding in other parts of South South, especially in central Alabama, as Tropical Depression Claudette travels along the coast on Sunday.

Ten people, including nine children, were killed Saturday in a two-car crash, according to Butler County Coroner Wayne Garlock, who said cars drove on wet roads. Sheriff County Sheriff Danny Bond said several people were also injured. The victims were not immediately identified.

Meanwhile, a 24-year-old man and a 3-year-old boy were killed when a tree fell on their home Saturday near the Tuscaloosa city border, Captain Marty Sellers of the Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit told The Tuscaloosa News. The vendors did not identify the victims and a medical examiner was not available earlier in the week.

The deaths came as torrential rains fell in northern Alabama and Georgia at the end of Saturday. About 20 inches of rain has already been reported from Claudette along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.

A hot storm warning was in North Carolina from Little River Inlet to Duck town on Outer Banks. A hot storm clock was delivered from South Santee River, South Carolina, to Little River Inlet, forecasters said.

Winds remain around 30mph (45m / h). Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center predicted that Claudette would re-energize the hurricane on Monday in northeastern North Carolina as it sailed into the Atlantic Ocean.

Sunday floods were set up in northern Georgia, most of South Carolina, the coast of North Carolina and areas southeast of Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.

More than 20 people have been rescued by boat from the floods in Northport, Alabama, WVUA-TV said. The Tuscaloosa County Emergency Management Agency wrote online that Red Cross volunteers are available to help those affected. Accommodation was opened in Northport.

Village Creek in Birmingham rose above the flood level to 4 meters (4 meters), the National Weather Service in Birmingham wrote.

The plan was about 35 miles west of Atlanta. It moved northeast at 13mph (20km / h), the National Hurricane Center said in a statement Sunday morning.

Following the fall, a hurricane thought to have been triggered by the storm toppled or destroyed at least 50 homes in a small town in Alabama, northwest of Florida.

Sheriff Heath Jackson in the Escambia region said a storm that he thought was “well-planned” in the tour park, knocked down trees in the house and cut off the roof of the high school. Most of the damage occurred in the towns of Brewton and East Brewton, about 77 miles north of Pensacola, Florida.

“It affected everyone,” Jackson said. “But mobile homes being built too close together can cost more than split homes.”

Storms were also reported in southwestern Georgia.

Hurricane damage is also felt in northern Florida, where winds – sometimes up to 85mph (137km / h) – caused an 18-wheel-drive vehicle to turn in its direction.

The storm also caused torrential rains north of Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana and along the Mississippi coast, with flooded roads, pumping water into homes. Later, a hurricane swept across the Florida Panhandle and, in the interior, a large part of Alabama.

Forecasters say the system could still rain 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 inches) in the area, with a distance of about 8 inches (20 cm) possible.

In contrast, Tropical Storm Dolores fell off the west coast of Mexico by a hurricane. By Sunday morning, he had passed through Mexico. The remains had a strong winds of 25mph (35km / h), and were between 170 miles (275 km) east of Mazatlan, Mexico.

Heavy rains fall until 15 inches (38 inches) are expected in southwestern and western Mexico over the weekend. Forecasters warned of the possibility of floods and mudslides.
