Indianapolis, U.S. : Wicked weekend storms pounded America from the Midwest to the East Coast, forcing hundreds of people to flee flooded communities, spawning tornadoes that tore up houses and killing at least eight people, the Associated Press reported.
Rescuers in boats continued to pluck people from rising waters in Indiana on Sunday, a day after more than 10 inches (25 centimeters) of rain deluged much of the state.
More than 1,500 people were evacuated from their homes.
In Iowa, pumps and thousands of sandbags were sent to the Iowa City area, where officials fear a reservoir could top a spillway and flood the city of about 63,000 by Tuesday.
