The storm has already caused over a foot of rain in some areas, leading to waist-high floodwaters, downed trees, and street closures. Emergency declarations were issued in South Carolina and Virginia. The National Weather Service predicts up to 9 inches of rain in southeastern North Carolina. Six fatalities have been reported, with President Biden approving federal disaster assistance for affected states. As the storm weakens, Maryland has declared a State of Preparedness for potential severe weather later this week.

DNA evidence found near scene of Charlie Kirk’s shooting matches suspect, FBI director says
SUMMARY: DNA on a towel around a rifle linked Tyler Robinson, 22, to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed. Robinson’s DNA also matched a screwdriver found on the rooftop from which Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University. Authorities plan capital murder charges against Robinson, who reportedly hated Kirk and adhered to a “leftist ideology.” Robinson left a note expressing intent to kill Kirk and may have been radicalized online. Ammunition used had anti-fascist engravings. Tributes to Kirk, a key conservative figure and Trump confidant, continue nationwide, with Vice President JD Vance honoring him on Kirk’s show.
