Texas Floods Have Left High Waters and a Big Cleanup Job After Hundreds of People Are Rescued
UVALDE, Texas (AP) — First responders in storm-battered Texas again rushed to save people trapped in high waters Friday, as more heavy rain widened the danger from floods that have killed at least two people and left hundreds more in need of rescue. A week of punishing downpours dumped more than 2 feet (60 centimeters) in some areas. The rain was expected to taper off, but another round of showers worsened already swollen rivers and flooded rural communities near the border with Mexico that had largely been spared major damage. Near Ozona, a small town about 200 miles (322 kilometers) west of San Antonio, floodwaters spilled over Interstate 10. More than 50 people were rescued by boat from flooded apartments and a water-logged RV park. A section of a bridge also collapsed over the Nueces River in Uvalde County, where months worth of rain has fallen in a span of days. In Uvalde, about 80 miles (129 kilometers) southwest of San Antonio, floodwaters rushed through Miguel Vasquez’s home twice this week, leaving a layer of …
200 campers rescued as flooding hits Missouri, Kentucky : NPR
Ann DeField is grateful her two sons and their fellow campers are home safe after they were evacuated from a Missouri summer camp that became flooded during severe weather across the central U.S. this week. Benjamin, 11 years old and Teddy, 9, were among the more than 200 children and counselors who were airlifted from Camp Taum Sauk on Friday in Lesterville, Mo., after the region saw historic rainfall. Eight UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters crewed by about 35 members of the Missouri National Guard rescued them from dangerous floodwaters, according to Gov. Mike Kehoe’s office — flying them to a nearby elementary school where they were reunited with family.

She said she had also been notified by the camp that children had moved to higher ground and in the afternoon were being evacuated by Black Hawk helicopters. “It was a whirlwind,” …

Wes Anderson Was Trapped in Academy Museum Elevator, Rescued by LAFD
After participating in a celebration of the 30th anniversary of Bottle Rock on Monday, Wes Anderson found himself trapped in an elevator at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. The director was trapped in the elevator for roughly 30 minutes, alongside Luke Wilson producer James L. Brooks, before the Los Angeles Fire Department came to their aid. Save Your Cinema claimed the elevator was “a secret passageway/elevator so celebrities can enter and exit without” at the Academy Museum, though The Hollywood Reporter was not able to confirm if Anderson had taken an alternative entrance not made available to the public. Carolyn Dunn, a production specialist for 20th Century Fox, did, however, share a video of Anderson and Brooks exiting the elevator on Instagram. In the clip, Anderson can be heard asking the LAFD what went wrong, to which one official responded, “Probably had too much weight in there.” “Okay, thank you very much,” Anderson replied. THR has reached out to the Academy Museum and the LAFD for comment, but did not hear back by the time …
