Good morning. It's Monday, August 15. Authorities say three married couples were killed following the crash of a small airplane that took off from a Kissimmee airport.

Across southern Louisiana, residents scrambled to get to safety as rivers and creeks burst their banks, swollen from days of heavy rain that in some areas came close to two feet over a 48-hour period.
