Flash Floods Sweep Northern Texas as 15 Inches of Rain Falls on Dallas

HeadlineAug 23, 2022

In Texas, at least one person was killed after a record-breaking storm system brought flash flooding to Dallas, Fort Worth and other parts of the region. Some parts of East Dallas received up to 15 inches of rainfall over a span of just 24 hours. Despite the deluge, Dallas remains in exceptional drought, having posted 67 consecutive days with no measurable rainfall earlier this year.

In China, an unprecedented streak of hot summer days has passed the 70-day mark, becoming China’s longest and most intense heat wave on record.
