🌧 Governor declares water emergency for Mississippi capital
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said Monday night that he is declaring a state of emergency after excessive rainfall exacerbated problems in one of Jackson’s water-treatment plants and caused low water pressure through much of the capital city.
Reeves said that on Tuesday, the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency will start distributing both drinking water and non-potable water in the city of 150,000 residents, and the National Guard will be called in to help.
Jackson has longstanding problems with its water system. A cold snap in 2021 and 2022 left a significant number of people without running water after pipes froze. The city has been under a boil-water notice since late July because tests found a cloudy quality to the water that could lead to health problems.

🌩 Storms blamed in deaths of 3 in Michigan, Ohio & Arkansas

In the Michigan city of Monroe, a 14-year-old girl was electrocuted Monday night in the backyard of her home after coming into contact with an electrical line that was knocked down by a thunderstorm.
And in the Detroit-area community of Warren, two boys were hospitalized — including an 8-year-old who was in critical condition — after one of them touched a downed power line Tuesday morning. In Arkansas, an 11-year-old boy died after he was swept into a storm drain during heavy rainfall Monday, authorities said.
