I didn't hear anything in the news about no deaths (or injuries even??) from flooding

Our take

In light of the recent flooding that caused an estimated $1 billion in damages, it's remarkable that there have been no reported deaths or missing persons directly linked to these events. While it's likely there have been some injuries, the minimal impact on human life amidst such devastation is astonishing. As communities begin their recovery, support systems are essential.

Given the magnitude (1 billion in damages) of the flooding in the past few weeks, I thought it was pretty amazing there are no known deaths or missing people caused by the floods. I could not find any evidence that there were any deaths directly related to the flooding. As far as injuries directly caused from the flooding. I'm sure there has to be some.

My point is though, it's pretty amazing how minimal the physical injuries/death numbers are. Now the recovery part...that's not easy. I didn't see this put out there, but for farmers:
