Storms bring rain, flooding but drought remains in the South
Storms drenched the parched South with heavy rain and flash floods injuring two people in Tallahassee and flooding Birmingham, while 17 miles of Interstate 10 near Ehrenberg, Arizona stayed closed. Rainfall varied across cities including Jackson Mississippi and Atlanta, easing heat but not drought. Relief efforts arrived as hay shipments from Iowa and Illinois headed to Georgia to aid livestock, with an Air Force plane delivering 50 tons to Dobbins AFB for distribution.
