Flash flooding hits US parks, southern states in latest weather disasters

12 Sept 01:27 Key points summarised by AI

Flash floods from torrential rain impacted multiple US national parks and southern states, causing widespread disruption and danger.
A hiker was swept away and remains missing in Zion National Park, while 200 people were evacuated after being trapped by rising waters in Carlsbad Caverns National Park.
Southern states like Utah, Arizona, and Texas experienced severe urban flooding, with more heavy rain forecasted for the region, posing continued flash flood risks.
Despite an ongoing drought in the western US, these intense, short-duration downpours are less effective for long-term water replenishment and are consistent with altered weather patterns attributed to climate change.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
