Tropical Storm Arthur may have lost its official title over the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday night, but by early Thursday the weakened system was still driving deadly floods from Texas to Alabama, prompting the US National Weather Service (NWS) to warn that just six inches of fast‑moving water is enough to knock an adult off their feet.
The sprawling remnants of Arthur were pushing ashore across southeastern Louisiana and sweeping east through the Deep South, with forecasters describing an 'unusually high' risk of life‑threatening flash flooding.
