The Northeast floods, generated by a heat dome, (an atmospheric condition can lead to prolonged periods of extremely hot weather and heatwaves) continue to threaten communities. In southeastern Pennsylvania, five people were killed, including the mother of two missing children, trapped in floodwaters during a violent storm.
