Най-малко двама загинали при тежките наводнения в Оклахома и Тексас

Severe floods, that have so far claimed the lives of at least two people, could be seen spreading across large parts of Oklahoma, destroying houses and cars in the town of Washington, Sunday. The floods were caused by record-breaking levels of rainfall that led several river banks to burst on Saturday night and Sunday. Large parts of northern Texas were also affected by the storms and floods with up to 10 inches (25cm) of rain falling in a 24-hour period. Hundreds of homes have been damaged, along with several key pieces of infrastructure including two bridges in Texas that were completely washed away in the torrents. Thousands of people have been evacuated from high risk areas, and warnings and alerts have been announced across several neighbouring states including Colorado and Kansas.
