Floodwaters Disrupt Election Day in Southwest

Heavy rain caused big floods in the U.S. Southwest. Now, people are cleaning up mud from their homes and businesses.

A lot of rain, like 20 trillion gallons, fell in two weeks. This amount caused serious flooding in several states, including Colorado.

One person died, and rivers are still very high in some places. But skies are now clear, and officials hope waters will go down soon.

The floods also changed voting places in Florida, Colorado, and Utah. Many people found it hard to vote because roads were closed or damaged.

One woman saw her stepfather's home swept away by the water. Cleaning up and rebuilding homes will take a long time for many families.
