Cars and buildings stood partially submerged in floodwaters in Noblesville, Indiana, on Saturday as powerful storms and floods swept through the region, killing at least six people — among them a four-year-old boy, state officials said.

The storms had cut power to nearly one million utility customers across Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky on Tuesday, August 11, local media reported
