Thawing snowpack and heavy rains have brought historically high flooding to several Midwestern states and have led to thousands of evacuations. Three people have died, including a man who officials say was trying to rescue strangers from freezing flood waters. Record-breaking flooding in at least five states has led to emergency declarations. Several communities have been cut off from outside help. It follows a powerful winter storm that slammed the US last week.

Hundreds of homes flooded in several Midwestern states after rivers breached at least a dozen levees following heavy rain and snowmelt in the region, authorities said Monday while warning that the flooding was expected to linger. About 320 kilometres of levees were compromised — either breached or overtopped — in four states, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said. Even in places where the water level peaked in those states — Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas — the current was fast and the water so high that damage continued to pile up. The flooding was blamed for at least three deaths.

Key points: - Tropical Cyclone Idai struck Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe
- Death tolls combined for all three countries are in the hundreds, with many more missing
- Subsequent flooding has hit Mozambique, threatening south-east Africa's main port
Mozambique has confirmed 84 deaths as a result of the cyclone, which struck its southern coast with category two storm speeds of up to 176 kilometres per hour. It then moved inland, which lashed Zimbabwe and Malawi as a tropical storm with winds of up to 93kph.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/03/6-states-reeling-rivers-rise-record-levels-190318092005387.html Record river flooding is now affecting six US states across the central Great Plains and the Midwest. Last week's major storm that crossed much of the central and eastern part of the country kicked off the flooding when it brought heavy rain along with warmer air, which triggered a widespread snowmelt. As of Sunday, 40 locations have reported new record-high river levels across the states of Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. |
