Floodwaters overwhelmed local waterways during the early morning hours while residents were asleep.

Rescue workers have used dogs, drones and other means to search for the missing." AlJazeera
"President Trump shared a compassionate exchange Wednesday with a Ukrainian journalist who said her husband was a soldier — as she asked whether the US would supply the embattled country with Patriot missiles in its war against Moscow.
Before addressing her question, Trump asked Petsa: “Are you living, yourself, now in Ukraine?”“My husband is there,” she said. “And me with the kids, I’m in Warsaw [Poland], actually. Because he wanted me to.”
“Is your husband a soldier?” Trump asked, to which Petsa answered: “He is.”
“He’s there now?” the president asked again, with Petsa responding affirmatively.
A visibly moved Trump responded, “Wow, that’s rough stuff, right? That’s tough.”
Trump then went on to affirm that Kyiv wants to buy the weapons from the US — and pledged that “we’re going to see if we can make some available.”
“You know, they’re very hard to get. We need them too,” the president continued. “We were supplying them to Israel, and they’re very effective — 100% effective. Hard to believe how effective. And they do want that more than any other thing, as you probably know.”
“That’s a very good question, and I wish you a lot of luck,” Trump told Petsa. “I mean, I can see it’s very upsetting to you. Say hello to your husband, OK? Thank you,” the president added before taking more questions." NYP

"Have the Iranians already begun to 'close' the Strait of Hormuz? New reports from China -- and an apparent sotto voce warning from Beijing to Tehran -- suggest that the IRGC may have already deployed their opening salvo to render the strait impassable....several commercial ships had to turn around after their navigation systems got jammed. That included two tankers servicing China's insatiable energy appetite.The problem with this method is that it will likely be easier to track back to its sources, and Israeli and American fighters can target and destroy the transmitters and whoever is operating them. The US Navy could still target Iranian naval vessels as a reprisal, but Trump will likely want to hold off on that unless absolutely necessary, as any wreckage could hinder shipping.
Much of their energy exports go to China, and they are not happy about the new developments in the Strait of Hormuz. "The China Shipowners’ Association told its members in a statement to immediately start submitting daily reports on their ship movements through the Gulf of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz. Beijing also called on the international community to maintain stability in the critical shipping lanes of the Persian Gulf, and said it was in touch with Iran about the ongoing conflict.
That may be Beijing's normally subtle method of signaling displeasure in public. The "China Shipowners Association" has to operate under the aegis of the Chinese Communist Party and the regime in Beijing, if not operating as a direct arm of the CCP. Being "in touch" after their shipping gets disrupted is not just going to be a "hi how are you" conversation with the regime." HA
