Floods, Landslides Disrupt Travel in US and India

Severe weather and heavy rainfall have caused significant flooding and traffic disruptions in the United States and India. In Rockford, Illinois, rising water levels from storms led to the temporary closure of Reuben Aldeen Park, with authorities urging caution. Eastern Massachusetts faced flash flood warnings, resulting in highway closures and stranded vehicles. India continues to grapple with widespread monsoon flooding, landslides, and major traffic disruptions in cities and states. In Johnson City, Tennessee, downtown roads were closed due to flooding, but waters are receding and normal travel is resuming. Idaho’s U.S. Highway 95 was blocked for nearly two days by a mudslide caused by intense rainfall, with traffic resuming after cleanup.
