A senior citizen died in Death Valley after his car ran out of gas in Death Valley National Park during record high temperatures. A park visitor found his body on Tuesday.

The state is aware of at least 2,000 cattle deaths in the southwest region, but that number could be higher.

Montana National Guard says troops have rescued 87 people from floodwaters.

Excessive heat warnings and heat advisories remained in effect on Wednesday from Michigan to northern Florida.

Park officials say over 10,000 visitors left the nation’s oldest national park after historic flooding tore through the area, washing out bridges and roads.

While no one has been reported killed or injured, waters were only starting to recede Tuesday and the full extent of the destruction wasn’t yet known.

The combination of heat and humidity could make it feel like 115 degrees in many U.S. locations, forecasters said.
