A new era of floods has arrived

Natalie Newman believed she had done everything she could to get ready for Helene. Before the hurricane carved a path of destruction across the Southeast in late September, she assumed it would be like other storms she'd experienced in five years of living in Asheville, North Carolina. So Newman took her usual precautions: packing a go-bag, stocking up on food, moving her car uphill from her apartment on the banks of the Swannanoa River.

At least 130 people died in the Texas Hill Country floods. These are some of their names.

Before light broke on July 4, dozens of families in Texas Hill Country had their lives changed forever. A downpour caused waterways to rise to near-unprecedented levels, creating floods that devastated a children's summer camp and swept away homes and cars. More than 130 people were killed in Central Texas, most of whom were in Kerr County. These are the flood victims that CBS News has so far confirmed. Solve the daily Crossword

Fourteen dead and 12 missing after torrential rain in South Korea

Torrential rain that battered South Korea for five days has left 14 people dead and 12 others missing, the government has said. One person was killed on Sunday after their house collapsed during heavy rain and another person was found dead after being swept away by a swollen stream in Gapyeong, a town north-east of Seoul, the Interior and Safety Ministry said. The ministry said eight people were discovered dead and six others were reported missing in the southern town of Sancheong on Saturday after heavy downpours caused landslides, house collapses and flash floods. A ministry report said six people remain missing in Gapyeong and the southern city of Gwangju. Earlier last week, three people were found dead in a submerged car, and a person was also killed when their car was buried by soil and concrete after a retaining wall of an overpass collapsed in Osan, just south of Seoul, during heavy rain. As of 9am local time on Sunday, about 3,840 people remain evacuated from their homes, the ministry report said. But the rain has stopped in most of South Korea and heavy rain alerts have subsequently been lifted throughout the country, ministry officials said. Since Wednesday, southern regions have received 24-31in of rain, according to the ministry report.
