Erin Burgess recalls a midnights flood washing water into her home while she and her teen son clung to a tree. Barry Adelman describes his family trapped in a three story house as water rose to the attic with his 94 year old grandmother and 9 year old grandson. Locals speak of the region as Flash Flood Alley as flood warnings moved to a full alert for at least 30 000 people.

Republicans push sweeping cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in bill
The legislation seeks 80 hour month work requirements for many adults on Medicaid and SNAP with 35 co payments. It shifts SNAP costs to states from 2028 and expands tax breaks for wind and solar while creating Trump Accounts and funding the National Garden of American Heroes. Critics warn it raises uninsured rates and raises deficits by about 3.3 trillion over a decade.
