Where you are Most likely to Experience Floods in the United States in Spring-Summer 2019
A few months ago, the American meteorological department confirmed that twenty-five states in total were at the highest risk of experiencing severe Floods in Spring-Summer of this year. This alerting news was announced amid confirmation by other sources. This forecast did not surprise many as states like Nebraska and Iowa had already experienced late winter Floods with sudden and unexpected amounts of rain. It, however, remained a reason for concern. Based on the current situation with the floods across Central US, the forecast is coming into full realization with each passing day it seems. According to a different source, a total of thirty-six states were likely to experience floods between mid-March and the summer, but oy twenty-five would suffer severe damages from it.
May is a Minh known for the severe storms that come with it and this month is no different as it started with some severe storms that wreaked havoc in Central US states. This is not far from the predictions made by the weather department. Approximately twenty-five tornadoes have affected various parts of Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. A hailstorm bombarded the city of Amarillo in Texas while floods hit the city of Sulphur in Oklahoma. Other regions scattered across Northern Texas, Central Oklahoma, Southern Missouri, and Northwestern Arkansas also experienced severe weather conditions due to the tornadoes and hailstorm. Loss of power, damage of property and flooding are some of the outcomes of these extreme weather conditions. As of yet, the most severe incident of damage has been reported in Boone Arkansas where a house lost its roof as a tornado skimmed right past it. As of yet, there is something to be happy about since no fatalities have been reported although several injury reports have come in from different parts of the affected states cities.
The upper, middle and lower parts of the Mississippi basin, all regions around the great lakes, all regions around the Red River of the North, Eastern bank of the Missouri River, lower banks of the Cumberland River, lower banks of Ohio River and the whole of the Tennessee River basin are all high alert regions. Make sure you, your loved ones or people you know in these regions have moved to safety for some time or have taken the necessary precautions to guarantee safety in readiness for the upcoming storms and the ensuing floods.
If you check the websites of some insurance companies, you will come across detailed guides explaining all the precautions that should be observed in readiness for the upcoming floods, and it is vital that you observe them.
