Millions of people across the Midwest who are dealing with major flooding cannot get a break.

Water has been pouring into some areas since Sunday, and HLN meteorologist Bob Van Dillen says more rain and snow are on the way.

Six states were hit with flash flooding over the weekend. 

So far the high water has been blamed for at least three deaths, and more rain is in the forecast. 

Severe weather is forcing hundreds of people from their homes in Louisiana this morning. People in some areas have been drenched with more than a foot of rain this week.

The storms brought widespread flooding, prompting Gov. Bobby Jindal to declare a state of emergency.

It's an annual event in Mason County, Washington.  Salmon get thrown off course when floodwaters push the Skokomish River over its banks.  Soon 'Chum Salmon" are swimming over streets and into farmland.  Giving locals and at least one happy dog a chance to fish without poles.

What a morning with something for everybody weather wise. Tornado warnings have been posted for VA and NC this morning with a watch down to SC until 2 pm. I’ll have the warning areas. This stuff is all from the remnants of tropical storm Lee as it gets pulled northward along a cold front. The huge amounts of rain we saw fall on LA and MS is now edging through the Appalachian Mountains to the NE with flood watches and warnings all around. I’m thinking around 5-6” or rain in the mountains. I’ll have those for you too.

That cold front is actually a blessing for the NE, since it will effectively shunt hurricane Katia away from the US/Canadian coast and into the northern Atlantic over the next 5 days. Rip currents and rough surf is the only noticeable product of the storm we’ll see.
