Severe weather starts our day's other headlines. The East Coast is experiencing heavy rains and flooding as the last remnants of the post-tropical cyclone Debbie move north.

Flash flooding warnings stretch from the Carolinas up through Maine, with Pennsylvania

and New York potentially hardest hit. Tornadoes also remain a threat. In Vermont,

There will be damage, there will be various types of flooding. It will be a challenging next 18

The death toll from Debbie has risen to 8

after a tree fell on a home in North Carolina yesterday

killing a 78-year-old woman.

Russia, meanwhile, declared a federal emergency today in the country's Kursk region, where officials

That comes four days after hundreds of Ukrainian troops crossed the border and what's believed to be the largest

attack on Russian soil since the war started.

Also today, a Russian missile strike on a shopping mall in Ukraine's eastern Donutsk region killed at least 14 people

civilians since October of 2022.

The airline has confirmed there were no survivors.

The cause of the accident is not yet known.
