Rains, flash floods kill at least 4 citizens in U.S

The death toll in some of the Southern American states rose to at least 4 citizens and 2 people still missing on Wednesday after several days of heavy rains triggered flash flooding that swamped Louisiana and Taxes' residential areas, according to American media.

In this regard, the American National Weather Service revealed more than 30 million people are threatened by flooding this week across parts of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas, an event Accuweather called "historic."

In the same context, the AccuWeather meteorologist Adam Sadvary explained: “Rounds of rain and thunderstorms have inundated much of the south-central U.S. since Monday, especially for many in Texas and Louisiana, and relief is not expected until late this week."

In a statement released on Facebook, the weather service said that south Lake Charles in western Louisiana saw 12 to 15 inches of rain in 12 hours. 

During a news conference held on Tuesday by Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, the American domestic authorities indicated that there were four weather-related deaths and two still missing.
