«Breaking News» Three killed by fast-moving flash floodwaters in Fort Worth

Three people have been killed in flash flooding incidents in Forth Worth, Texas, with a mother and her toddler daughter among the fatalities.

In two separate incidents on Saturday, a woman in her 20s and her two-year-old daughter, as well as an elderly man, were killed when floodwaters swept their vehicles off the road.

None of the victims have been publicly identified yet, pending family notifications. 

The first incident occurred at around 10am, when the mother's four-door sedan was swept off of the road on the 4900 block of East Loop 820, the Star-Telegram reported. 

Police said that the car stalled out in rising water, and that waves created by other passing vehicles pushed the vehicle down into a culvert.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
