Summary
Dozens of high-water rescues were launched across South Texas after slow-moving storms flooded roads, swamped farmland and forced evacuations, while a tornado also touched down in San Antonio.
Kerr County officials said they were in contact with camps that could be at risk, a year after catastrophic flooding there killed more than 100 people, including 28 at Camp Mystic.
830 wildfires burning across Canada sent thick smoke from Ontario into the Upper Midwest, Northeast and as far south as New York City, where officials warned unhealthy air could last into Thursday.
100-degree heat is building across large parts of the country alongside the smoke and flooding, though forecasters expect rain Friday in the Upper Midwest and Saturday in the Northeast to help clear the air.
