From the Gulf Coast all the way up into southern Illinois, a days-long rain and storm event is underway, spelling major concerns about severe flooding that may affect millions. Two deaths have been confirmed from flooding brought by this storm system.

The storms persisted on Wednesday, with the heaviest rainfall hammering eastern Texas, western Louisiana and much of Arkansas. Flash flood emergencies were issued in some areas as rivers quickly rose near record flood stages and homes were submerged.
