On September 17, 2004, Hurricane Ivan's remnants caused unprecedented flooding in Pittsburgh, resulting in over six inches of rain and significant damage across the region, with 4,000 homes affected and one confirmed fatality. The fast-rising waters led to flooding along iconic sites like the Tenth Street Bypass and Point State Park, while communities along smaller streams faced the brunt of the storm's impact. Twenty years later, residents reflect on the devastation and recovery, emphasizing the community's resilience and strength in the aftermath. In North Carolina, recent storms have also caused historic flooding, particularly in coastal areas like Carolina Beach, where over 18 inches of rain fell, stranding residents and closing multiple roads. Authorities are actively working to assess and respond to the ongoing flooding situation in the state. Meanwhile, Poland has declared a state of natural disaster in several counties due to severe flooding, with plans for ongoing assessments and potential extensions of the emergency measures.
