The Carolinas and Virginia face significant risks of flash flooding due to heavy rainfall fueled by Tropical Storm Bertha's moisture. Communities in Texas, particularly in the Hill Country, are experiencing catastrophic flooding, with rivers rising rapidly and water rescues mounting. Wildfire smoke is creating hazardous air quality from the Great Lakes to the Northeast, posing health risks to residents. These combined events could lead to widespread disruptions, property damage, and potential loss of life if precautions are not taken.
