In West Virginia, a flood that will go down in history

With the missing accounted for in all but one county, West Virginia on Sunday turned its attention to recovery after disastrous floods killed at least 24 people and rendered many more homeless. The deluge tore through roads and bridges and knocked out utilities that still haven’t been restored in some communities. Federal money will be part of the rebuilding equation. Sunday marks the first day people can apply for Federal Emergency Management Agency aid in the three worst-hit counties.

Death toll may rise in destructive California wildfire

Lighter winds are helping firefighters make gains on a voracious and deadly wildfire in central California that has burned 150 homes and claimed two lives. The toll may rise.

Entire blocks were reduced to rubble, and at least 2,500 homes remained threatened.

Polls show Clinton expanding her lead over Trump

A pair of new polls show Hillary Clinton expanding a lead over Donald Trump, albeit by different margins. Clinton now leads Trump by double digits — 51% to 39% — in the new Washington Post-ABC News poll, a survey that had the race statistically tied last month. Meanwhile, Columnist George F. Will, a prominent conservative voice for decades, says he has left the Republican Party because of Trump's impending presidential nomination. Trump, who has clashed with Will before, did not take the news well.

Family of ex-Tennessee women's coach Pat Summitt 'preparing for the worst'

Former University of Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt is “struggling” and those close to her are “preparing for the worst,” a source involved in the situation confirmed Sunday morning. “I don’t think anybody knows whether she will last a day, a month or a year,” the source said. Summitt announced in August 2011 that she had been diagnosed with early onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type. As of late Saturday, Summitt, 64, had not been moved from the retirement center where she has been living since late January.

Bigger ships: Panama celebrates opening its expanded canal

A 984-foot Chinese container ship slowly plodded into the new massive locks of the Panama Canal on Sunday, becoming the first ship to officially use the expanded canal and sparking a new dawn for Panama and global shipping. The $5.4 billion effort to expand the 102-year-old canal took nearly 10 years and the sweat from 40,000 workers to complete. The new set of locks now allow ships carrying up to 14,000 containers, known as neo-Panamax ships, to cut a quicker path between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. U.S. ports have been investing billions of dollars to expand their facilities in a race to accommodate the mega ships.

Iraqi commander: 'Fallujah fight is over'

The brutal, month-long struggle for the Iraqi city of Fallujah is over, and Islamic State militants have been driven from the once booming, now beleaguered "city of mosques," Iraqi military leaders said Sunday. Lt. Gen. Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi told Iraqi state TV that government troops had swept into the northwestern neighborhood of al-Julan, the last area of Fallujah to remain under militant control. The battle for Fallujah has featured sometimes fierce door-to-door battles as the military worked to keep civilian casualties to a minimum.

More than 3 million people have signed an official online petition calling for a re-do of the Brexit referendum, generating so much traffic on Saturday that Parliament's website temporarily crashed. The official U.K. Government and Parliament petition follows Thursday's shocking referendum in which 51.9% of United Kingdom voters supported leaving the European Union. It passed with a turnout of 72.2%. No clear candidate has emerged to replace Prime Minister David Cameron, who announced he will resign by October.

Jaws on the floor.
