More than 16 million people in the central U.S. are once again facing the possibility of severe storms Wednesday. Severe weather, including tornadoes, hail and damaging wind, are most likely along the High Plains of Wyoming and Colorado, as well as parts of Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
Parts of the Houston area picked up several inches of rain in the span of a couple of hours Tuesday, resulting in flooding that stalled some vehicles. A very similar scenario is expected to play out in Space City once again Wednesday, where 3 to 5 inches of rain is possible. Flooding is also likely across all of eastern Texas, western Louisiana, southeastern Oklahoma and much of Arkansas.
We’re only five months into 2023 and the country has already endured seven disasters with losses exceeding $1 billion, totaling $19 billion in damage. Among the disasters through the end of April were five severe weather outbreaks, one winter storm and one flood.
