Iowa floodwaters breach levees as even more rain dumps onto parts of the Midwest

A tornado is seen near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Tuesday. More severe weather was forecast to move into the region, potentially bringing large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes in parts of western Iowa and eastern Nebraska, according to the National Weather Service.

A vast swath of the Midwest has been under siege from torrential rains while also being hit with a heat wave. Hundreds of people were rescued, homes were damaged, and at least two people have died.
