"Drenched U.S. South Facing More Heavy Rain After Flood Deaths"

"A slow-moving storm dumped more rain on the waterlogged U.S. South on Thursday after heavy downpours killed at least four people this week, prompting evacuations and rescues from inundated areas.

Three people died over the past two days in northern Louisiana, deluged with some of the heaviest rainfall. Two men and a 6-year-old child were killed after either ignoring flood warnings or entering treacherous areas without signs, the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals said.

A 30-year-old man drowned on Tuesday as he tried to drive across a flooded area in southeastern Oklahoma, the National Weather Service said."
