Double Disaster: Flash Floods in Maryland and Raging Wildfires in Minnesota

Heavy rains trigger flash flood emergency in Western Maryland, forcing evacuations and road closures. The situation is further complicated by raging wildfires in Minnesota, destroying over 150 structures. Residents describe the chaos as floodwaters rose rapidly, submerging cars and homes. In one instance, a resident of Westernport, Maryland, reported seeing a foot and a half to two feet of water on Main Street. The Minnesota wildfires, with zero containment, have prompted the governor to call in the National Guard for assistance. The Camp House fire has already burned over 18 square miles of land, leaving many still evacuated from their homes.
