Heavy rains and flooding have targeted much of the U.S. so far this week. From Phoenix to Long Island, flash floods have left hundreds of vehicles stranded in roadways and killed two people in Michigan.

Severe storms swept through the Detroit area on Aug. 11, dumping approximately six inches of rain in the area. Roughly 1,000 vehicles were abandoned in flooded roadways, says Fox News. A 30-year-old woman suffered seizures and died after her vehicle became trapped in high waters. The body of a 100-year-old woman was found, apparently drowned, in her flooded condominium basement on Aug. 12.
