CNN - A potent storm is unloading torrential rains and fierce winds on parts of the Southeast US. Over 30 million people across the region are under a severe storm threat, while flood watches are in effect for more than 13 million people from Texas to Georgia amid heavy downpours, according to the Storm Prediction Center. Baseball-sized hail has been reported in Texas and at least one tornado overnight ripped through Raymond, Mississippi, about 20 miles west of Jackson. Along with the severe storm threat, meteorologists anticipate potential flash floods in parts of eastern Texas, northern Louisiana and western Mississippi, where isolated rainfall totals could exceed 6 inches.
Washington Post - This was the 10th record-hot month in a row. The streak has been fueled by human-caused global warming and the El Niño climate pattern. Global average temperatures have reached uncharted territory, and experts fear it could lead to catastrophic changes like the collapse of ocean currents
