Water from the nearby Passaic River floods a neighborhood at the intersection of Union Ave. and Arlington St. in Paterson, N.J. on March 16 after a weekend of heavy rainstorms. On Tuesday, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecast imminent Midwest flooding, which is expected to be worse than similar floods in 2009. A larger snowpack and an excess of 10 inches of water in some locations will contribute to the flooding. Forecasters also predict that the flooding will be more widespread and that the Southern and Eastern regions of the US, that experienced El Niño-driven winters, will also see its share of spring flooding.

Many hundreds have been rescued so far. But a fire broke out today amid the rubble of the collapsed building, ending hopes of saving a known survivor named Shahinur.
She was the last person located and known to still be alive inside a garment factory building that collapsed last week in Bangladesh. But before rescuers could save Shahinur, who went by only one name, a fire broke out in the rubble today and the woman who captured the attention of the nation perished. The death toll now stands at 378.
