9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

The Latest: Death toll from flooding rises to 16-Associated Press By The Associated Press-OCT 6,15-YAHOONEWS
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The latest on the rainstorm that pounded parts of the East Coast (all times local):
11:30 p.m.-State public safety officials say 16 people have been killed in a storm that dumped historic levels of rain on South Carolina.The Department of Public Safety says that eight people have drowned in South Carolina and six people died in traffic accidents. Two other people were killed in North Carolina.Six of the deaths were in Richland County, South Carolina, where many areas surrounding the capital city of Columbia have battled record water levels.On Tuesday, Richland County Coroner Gary Watts identified a man found drowned in his car as an 82-year-old Richard Nelson Milroy of Columbia. Watts says Milroy was found dead in his car after 10 p.m. on Monday in a neighborhood north of downtown Columbia.Public Safety says its officers have responded to more than 4,300 calls for service, including more than 1,800 collisions.
10:20 a.m.-Gov. Nikki Haley is planning to give an update on the state's response to historic rainfall and flooding that has deluged many areas and claimed at least 11 lives in South Carolina.Haley's office says the governor is addressing reporters at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at the South Carolina Emergency Operations Center in West Columbia.On Monday, Haley warned communities downstream from the capital city that a mass of water was working its way through waterways toward the low-lying coast — bringing the potential for more flooding and more displaced residents.
10 a.m.-Officials say they mistakenly reported that another dam in the Columbia area failed Tuesday as historic flooding hits the state.Department of Health and Environmental Control spokesman Jim Beasley says that the Upper Windsor Dam has not failed and that earlier reports were incorrect.But officials say they're monitoring the dam closely. The dam blocks water that would flow down into the same area that was heavily damaged by floodwaters Sunday.The Richland County government had sent out alerts by email and social media shortly after 9 a.m. saying the dam had been breached. The National Weather Service issued a flood warning because of the incorrect report.Richland County government later tweeted that there was no breach. State officials say residents don't need to evacuate.Richland County Sheriff's Lt. Curtis Wilson says it's not clear where the incorrect information originated.
7:30 a.m.-Columbia, South Carolina, Mayor Steve Benjamin says he's proud of the way people in the flooded city are working together to help their neighbors.Benjamin said he visited a shelter at A.C. Flora High School on Monday night and saw people who didn't know each other taking care of each other.Benjamin says the city plans to expand the number of water distribution points Tuesday. As many as 40,000 homes have no water service, and those with service have been told to boil the water for at least one minute before using it for drinking or cooking.Benjamin says that order is likely to be in effect for "quite some time."He said the city is working to restore water service, a problem that has been complicated by a breach of a dam near a city water plant.
7 a.m.-Authorities say another person has died in historic flooding that has inundated South Carolina's capital city.Richland County authorities told local news outlets an 82-year-old man who had been missing was found dead in his vehicle Monday. Richland County Sheriff's Lt. Curtis Wilson says the man's car had been underwater in a residential area north of downtown Columbia.The man's name hasn't been released. So far, the state Department of Public Safety says there have been 11 weather-related deaths in South Carolina. Two other deaths in North Carolina have been blamed on the storm.
5:50 a.m.-Power has been restored to thousands of residents drying out after torrential rains and flooding throughout South Carolina.South Carolina Electric and Gas says that less than 1,000 residents are without power early Tuesday. Duke Energy says only a handful of its customers are still waiting for electricity to come back on.That's compared with more than 25,000 outages statewide Monday morning. That figure included about 6,000 outages among the state's electric cooperatives, and their updated figures had not yet been released Tuesday morning.
5:40 a.m.-Hundreds of roads and bridges remain closed in South Carolina as engineers work to determine the safety of many thoroughfares after historic flooding.The state Department of Transportation says nearly 500 roads and bridges are still closed Tuesday morning. Many of those are in the Columbia area, which registered record rainfall this week.A 90-mile stretch of Interstate 95 is still closed between Interstates 20 and 26 due to flooding and overall poor road conditions.Officials are warning residents not to try to drive through or around standing water and debris that have covered many roadways. There have been at least 10 deaths in South Carolina since the storms started last week, while there have been two storm-related deaths in North Carolina.
5:15 a.m.-Officials across South Carolina are imploring people to donate water to residents in the state's flood-ravaged capital city area.Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright said in a news release overnight that his officers took 7,000 bottles of water to Lexington County on Monday, and they were all distributed in two hours.He says his officers are accepting more donations until noon Tuesday and will take them down to the Columbia area.Along South Carolina's southern coastline, the towns of Bluffton and Hilton Head Island are asking residents to drop off water donations at the Beaufort County Association of Realtors office.And in Aiken, sheriff's deputies are seeking donations of bottled water and packaged supplies to send to first responders in the area.Water has been shut off for many residents in the Columbia area due to multiple water main breaks in the wake of historic flooding. People who do still have water service are being asked to boil it for at least one minute before drinking or cooking.
4:30 a.m.-South Carolina is expecting sunshine Tuesday after days of wet weather, but it will take weeks for things to return to normal from a historic rainstorm.Even as the rain tapered off, officials warned of the likelihood of new evacuations. That was illustrated Monday afternoon when an evacuation was ordered in one of two towns east of downtown Columbia where two dams were breached.Gov. Nikki Haley warned communities downstream that a mass of rainwater working its way toward the low-lying coast could cause more flooding and displace more residents.At least 12 weather-related deaths in two states were blamed on the vast rainstorm, including those of five people who drowned in their cars in Columbia alone.A solid week of rainfall also sent about 1,000 to shelters and left about 40,000 without drinkable water.
Guatemala declares mudslide-hit community uninhabitable-Associated Press By KATHERINE CORCORAN and SONIA PEREZ D.-oct 6,15-yahoonews
SANTA CATARINA PINULA, Guatemala (AP) — Guatemalan officials weighed what to do with the site of a massive, acres-wide mudslide that might still hold hundreds of bodies and a surrounding area of largely untouched homes that has been declared uninhabitable.Simply too vast to excavate fully, there may come a point — as in the past — where officials simply end digging efforts at the site and declare the area where the unrecovered bodies lie a de-facto graveyard, their buried houses becoming their final tombs.Officials are also considering what to do with residents of the Cambray community on the outskirts of Guatemala City whose houses escaped Thursday's massive landslide but whose neighborhood has now been declared uninhabitable by Guatemala's National Disaster Reduction Commission, known as the Conred."They told us they have to get organized, they have to buy land" for us, said Clara Elena Solorzano, 40, who had lived in the neighborhood for 17 years in a house built by her husband. "Also that they're getting money together to buy us homes, but nothing concrete."As the death toll rose to 152 late Monday, questions mounted about why people were allowed to build homes at the base of a dangerous hillside next to a small river.The disaster reduction commission said it had warned of the risk Cambray faced since last year and had recommended that residents be relocated.But Solorzano and 26-year-old Sonia Hernandez, who had 10 family members displaced by the landslide and five from another house missing, both said they were never warned of any danger."If we had been warned of the danger we were running we never would have bought" in the neigh borhood, Hernandez said. "We practically bought our own tomb."Many Cambray residents were staying in shelters. Some 187 people waited on cots inside the Salon Municipal, an auditorium the town usually employs for events and parties. Displaced families could find food, medical services, activities for children and psychological services there.Most people there were homeowners, and said they built their homes with all the proper permits. They said they were more focused on the nearby river that occasionally overflows its banks than the hillside above them.Disaster Reduction Commission Director Alejandro Maldonado said he had warned Mayor Tono Coro of the municipality of Santa Catarina Pinula that the river was eating away at the base of the steep hill.Maldonado said he was waiting for a report from local authorities about what they had done in response to the warning.Municipal spokesman Manuel Pocasangre said local authorities had warned residents about the dangers, but the inhabitants did not want to leave their homes.Maldonado acknowledged there are many neighborhoods like Cambray in and around Guatemala City that are at risk of flooding or mudslides."What happened in Cambray is just a tragic case of what could potentially happen throughout the city," Maldonado said.On Monday, backhoes continued to remove thousands of tons of dirt from the mudflow with practically no hope of finding anyone alive and increasing difficulties in rescuing whole bodies. Emergency services coordinator Sergio Cabanas said five more bodies had been uncovered. About 300 people remain missing, according to some estimates.Maldonado said authorities are still committed to recovering the bodies of victims, but stressed "we are not going to risk more lives unnecessarily."
Sunken US cargo ship had enough lifeboats for 33 crew members but strong storm overpowered it-The Canadian PressBy Jason Dearen And Curt Anderson, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – oct 6,15-yahoonews
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - On a vessel taking on water and listing to one side, buffeted by 50-foot waves and winds estimated at up to 140 mph, life rafts can be torn apart and lifeboats become impossible to drop into the sea.For the crew of the El Faro cargo ship, who trained regularly in calm waters to handle the lifeboats, the situation would quickly have become desperate."Sometimes circumstances overwhelm you. You can do all the planning you want," said Steven Werse, a ship captain and secretary-treasurer of the Master Mates and Pilots Union in Linthicum Heights, Maryland. The union is not affiliated with the El Faro's crew or owners."Without power, the ship is really at the mercy of the sea," Werse said.On Monday, four days after the ship vanished, the Coast Guard concluded it sank near the Bahamas in about 15,000 feet of water. One unidentified body in a survival suit was spotted, and the search went on for any trace of the other crew members. The search continued Tuesday.A team from the National Transportation Safety Board in Washington was on its way to Jacksonville on Tuesday morning to study the El Faro debris, conduct interviews, and look at documents to find out what went wrong and how to prevent such incidents in the future."It's just a tragic, tragic situation," NTSB Vice Chairman Bella Dinh-Zarr told reporters before departing Washington. Asked whether she was surprised no survivors have yet been found, she said: "We have survival factors as a major part of our investigation."Survival suits are designed to help seafarers float and stay warm. But even at a water temperature of 85 degrees, hypothermia can set in quickly, Coast Guard Capt. Mark Fedor said. He noted that the hurricane had winds of about 140 mph and waves topping 50 feet."These are trained mariners. They know how to abandon ship," Fedor said. But "those are challenging conditions to survive."The ship, carrying cars and other products, had 28 crew members from the U.S. and five from Poland.Coast Guard and Navy planes, helicopters, cutters and tugboats searched across a 300-square-mile expanse of Atlantic Ocean near Crooked Island in the Bahamas, where the ship was last heard from while on its way from Jacksonville, Florida, to Puerto Rico.A heavily damaged lifeboat from the El Faro was discovered, with no one aboard, Fedor said. Also spotted were an oil sheen, cargo containers, a partly submerged life raft — the ship carried five rafts, each capable of holding 17 people — life jackets and life rings, authorities said.Phil Greene, president and CEO of Tote Services Inc., said the captain had a plan to sail ahead of the hurricane with room to spare.Greene said the captain, whose name has not been released, had conferred with the El Faro's sister ship — which was returning to Jacksonville along a similar route — and determined the weather was good enough to go forward."Regrettably he suffered a mechanical problem with his main propulsion system, which left him in the path of the storm," Greene said. "We do not know when his engine problems began to occur, nor the reasons for his engine problems."The last message from the ship came Thursday morning, when the captain reported the El Faro was listing slightly at 15 degrees in strong winds and heavy seas. Some water had entered through a hatch that popped open, but the captain told company officials the crew was pumping it out.The Coast Guard was unable to fly into the ship's last known position until Sunday, because of the fierce hurricane winds.Bernard Ferguson, a commercial fisherman who was at his home on Crooked Island during the hurricane, said it must have been a nightmare for the crew."It's impossible for any kind of vessel to take that kind of beating for that length of time, maybe an hour or two, yes," Ferguson said. "But taking 36 hours of beating, there's no way."Anxious family members, gathered at the Seafarers union hall in Jacksonville, tried to remain optimistic, but some wondered why the ship sailed into such a potent storm."What we've all questioned from the very start is why the captain would take them through a hurricane of this magnitude, or any hurricane," said Barry Young, uncle of crew member Shaun Riviera.Fedor said the National Transportation Safety Board and Coast Guard will investigate the sinking. The Coast Guard did not immediately release safety records requested by The Associated Press for the ship and its company.___Associated Press writers Jennifer Kay in Opa-Locka, Florida; Ben Fox in the Bahamas; and Connie Cass in Washington contributed to this report.

The Latest: Death toll from flooding rises to 16-Associated Press By The Associated Press-OCT 6,15-YAHOONEWS
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The latest on the rainstorm that pounded parts of the East Coast (all times local):
11:30 p.m.-State public safety officials say 16 people have been killed in a storm that dumped historic levels of rain on South Carolina.The Department of Public Safety says that eight people have drowned in South Carolina and six people died in traffic accidents. Two other people were killed in North Carolina.Six of the deaths were in Richland County, South Carolina, where many areas surrounding the capital city of Columbia have battled record water levels.On Tuesday, Richland County Coroner Gary Watts identified a man found drowned in his car as an 82-year-old Richard Nelson Milroy of Columbia. Watts says Milroy was found dead in his car after 10 p.m. on Monday in a neighborhood north of downtown Columbia.Public Safety says its officers have responded to more than 4,300 calls for service, including more than 1,800 collisions.

7 a.m.-Authorities say another person has died in historic flooding that has inundated South Carolina's capital city.Richland County authorities told local news outlets an 82-year-old man who had been missing was found dead in his vehicle Monday. Richland County Sheriff's Lt. Curtis Wilson says the man's car had been underwater in a residential area north of downtown Columbia.The man's name hasn't been released. So far, the state Department of Public Safety says there have been 11 weather-related deaths in South Carolina. Two other deaths in North Carolina have been blamed on the storm.
5:50 a.m.-Power has been restored to thousands of residents drying out after torrential rains and flooding throughout South Carolina.South Carolina Electric and Gas says that less than 1,000 residents are without power early Tuesday. Duke Energy says only a handful of its customers are still waiting for electricity to come back on.That's compared with more than 25,000 outages statewide Monday morning. That figure included about 6,000 outages among the state's electric cooperatives, and their updated figures had not yet been released Tuesday morning.
5:40 a.m.-Hundreds of roads and bridges remain closed in South Carolina as engineers work to determine the safety of many thoroughfares after historic flooding.The state Department of Transportation says nearly 500 roads and bridges are still closed Tuesday morning. Many of those are in the Columbia area, which registered record rainfall this week.A 90-mile stretch of Interstate 95 is still closed between Interstates 20 and 26 due to flooding and overall poor road conditions.Officials are warning residents not to try to drive through or around standing water and debris that have covered many roadways. There have been at least 10 deaths in South Carolina since the storms started last week, while there have been two storm-related deaths in North Carolina.
5:15 a.m.-Officials across South Carolina are imploring people to donate water to residents in the state's flood-ravaged capital city area.Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright said in a news release overnight that his officers took 7,000 bottles of water to Lexington County on Monday, and they were all distributed in two hours.He says his officers are accepting more donations until noon Tuesday and will take them down to the Columbia area.Along South Carolina's southern coastline, the towns of Bluffton and Hilton Head Island are asking residents to drop off water donations at the Beaufort County Association of Realtors office.And in Aiken, sheriff's deputies are seeking donations of bottled water and packaged supplies to send to first responders in the area.Water has been shut off for many residents in the Columbia area due to multiple water main breaks in the wake of historic flooding. People who do still have water service are being asked to boil it for at least one minute before drinking or cooking.
4:30 a.m.-South Carolina is expecting sunshine Tuesday after days of wet weather, but it will take weeks for things to return to normal from a historic rainstorm.Even as the rain tapered off, officials warned of the likelihood of new evacuations.

SANTA CATARINA PINULA, Guatemala (AP) — Guatemalan officials weighed what to do with the site of a massive, acres-wide mudslide that might still hold hundreds of bodies and a surrounding area of largely untouched homes that has been declared uninhabitable.Simply too vast to excavate fully, there may come a point — as in the past — where officials simply end digging efforts at the site and declare the area where the unrecovered bodies lie a de-facto graveyard, their buried houses becoming their final tombs.Officials are also considering what to do with residents of the Cambray community on the outskirts of Guatemala City whose houses escaped Thursday's massive landslide but whose neighborhood has now been declared uninhabitable by Guatemala's National Disaster Reduction Commission, known as the Conred."They told us they have to get organized, they have to buy land" for us, said Clara Elena Solorzano, 40, who had lived in the neighborhood for 17 years in a house built by her husband. "Also that they're getting money together to buy us homes, but nothing concrete."As the death toll rose to 152 late Monday, questions mounted about why people were allowed to build homes at the base of a dangerous hillside next to a small river.The disaster reduction commission said it had warned of the risk Cambray faced since last year and had recommended that residents be relocated.But Solorzano and 26-year-old Sonia Hernandez, who had 10 family members displaced by the landslide and five from another house missing, both said they were never warned of any danger."If we had been warned of the danger we were running we never would have bought" in the neigh borhood, Hernandez said. "We practically bought our own tomb."Many Cambray residents were staying in shelters. Some 187 people waited on cots inside the Salon Municipal, an auditorium the town usually employs for events and parties. Displaced families could find food, medical services, activities for children and psychological services there.Most people there were homeowners, and said they built their homes with all the proper permits. They said they were more focused on the nearby river that occasionally overflows its banks than the hillside above them.Disaster Reduction Commission Director Alejandro Maldonado said he had warned Mayor Tono Coro of the municipality of Santa Catarina Pinula that the river was eating away at the base of the steep hill.Maldonado said he was waiting for a report from local authorities about what they had done in response to the warning.Municipal spokesman Manuel Pocasangre said local authorities had warned residents about the dangers, but the inhabitants did not want to leave their homes.Maldonado acknowledged there are many neighborhoods like Cambray in and around Guatemala City that are at risk of flooding or mudslides."What happened in Cambray is just a tragic case of what could potentially happen throughout the city," Maldonado said.On Monday, backhoes continued to remove thousands of tons of dirt from the mudflow with practically no hope of finding anyone alive and increasing difficulties in rescuing whole bodies. Emergency services coordinator Sergio Cabanas said five more bodies had been uncovered. About 300 people remain missing, according to some estimates.Maldonado said authorities are still committed to recovering the bodies of victims, but stressed "we are not going to risk more lives unnecessarily."
Sunken US cargo ship had enough lifeboats for 33 crew members but strong storm overpowered it-The Canadian PressBy Jason Dearen And Curt Anderson, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – oct 6,15-yahoonews
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - On a vessel taking on water and listing to one side, buffeted by 50-foot waves and winds estimated at up to 140 mph, life rafts can be torn apart and lifeboats become impossible to drop into the sea.For the crew of the El Faro cargo ship, who trained regularly in calm waters to handle the lifeboats, the situation would quickly have become desperate."Sometimes circumstances overwhelm you. You can do all the planning you want," said Steven Werse, a ship captain and secretary-treasurer of the Master Mates and Pilots Union in Linthicum Heights, Maryland. The union is not affiliated with the El Faro's crew or owners."Without power, the ship is really at the mercy of the sea," Werse said.On Monday, four days after the ship vanished, the Coast Guard concluded it sank near the Bahamas in about 15,000 feet of water. One unidentified body in a survival suit was spotted, and the search went on for any trace of the other crew members. The search continued Tuesday.A team from the National Transportation Safety Board in Washington was on its way to Jacksonville on Tuesday morning to study the El Faro debris, conduct interviews, and look at documents to find out what went wrong and how to prevent such incidents in the future."It's just a tragic, tragic situation," NTSB Vice Chairman Bella Dinh-Zarr told reporters before departing Washington. Asked whether she was surprised no survivors have yet been found, she said: "We have survival factors as a major part of our investigation."Survival suits are designed to help seafarers float and stay warm. But even at a water temperature of 85 degrees, hypothermia can set in quickly, Coast Guard Capt. Mark Fedor said. He noted that the hurricane had winds of about 140 mph and waves topping 50 feet."These are trained mariners. They know how to abandon ship," Fedor said. But "those are challenging conditions to survive."The ship, carrying cars and other products, had 28 crew members from the U.S. and five from Poland.Coast Guard and Navy planes, helicopters, cutters and tugboats searched across a 300-square-mile expanse of Atlantic Ocean near Crooked Island in the Bahamas, where the ship was last heard from while on its way from Jacksonville, Florida, to Puerto Rico.A heavily damaged lifeboat from the El Faro was discovered, with no one aboard, Fedor said. Also spotted were an oil sheen, cargo containers, a partly submerged life raft — the ship carried five rafts, each capable of holding 17 people — life jackets and life rings, authorities said.Phil Greene, president and CEO of Tote Services Inc., said the captain had a plan to sail ahead of the hurricane with room to spare.Greene said the captain, whose name has not been released, had conferred with the El Faro's sister ship — which was returning to Jacksonville along a similar route — and determined the weather was good enough to go forward."Regrettably he suffered a mechanical problem with his main propulsion system, which left him in the path of the storm," Greene said. "We do not know when his engine problems began to occur, nor the reasons for his engine problems."The last message from the ship came Thursday morning, when the captain reported the El Faro was listing slightly at 15 degrees in strong winds and heavy seas. Some water had entered through a hatch that popped open, but the captain told company officials the crew was pumping it out.The Coast Guard was unable to fly into the ship's last known position until Sunday, because of the fierce hurricane winds.Bernard Ferguson, a commercial fisherman who was at his home on Crooked Island during the hurricane, said it must have been a nightmare for the crew."It's impossible for any kind of vessel to take that kind of beating for that length of time, maybe an hour or two, yes," Ferguson said. "But taking 36 hours of beating, there's no way."Anxious family members, gathered at the Seafarers union hall in Jacksonville, tried to remain optimistic, but some wondered why the ship sailed into such a potent storm."What we've all questioned from the very start is why the captain would take them through a hurricane of this magnitude, or any hurricane," said Barry Young, uncle of crew member Shaun Riviera.Fedor said the National Transportation Safety Board and Coast Guard will investigate the sinking. The Coast Guard did not immediately release safety records requested by The Associated Press for the ship and its company.___Associated Press writers Jennifer Kay in Opa-Locka, Florida; Ben Fox in the Bahamas; and Connie Cass in Washington contributed to this report.
