Millions of people in the Southeast are currently under flood watches as the remnants of tropical depression Francine continue to bring heavy rain to several states. Flooding has emerged as a significant threat from storm systems in recent years, with the situation escalating as Francine's slow movement prolongs the risk.
Although the storm's forward speed has increased to around 10 miles per hour, the lingering effects of the heavy rainfall are a cause for concern. Areas in western Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas are expected to bear the brunt of the additional rainfall, compounding the existing precipitation levels.
