Widespread heavy rainfall over the last 30 days has helped dent the drought in the Southern and Southeastern US. More rainfall is expected in those areas with some isolated flood concerns. Record heat is possible through the end of the week in the High Plains.

WATCH: DHS footage captures the chaotic takedown of a tractor-trailer near the southern border after authorities say 20 illegal migrants were found hidden inside the cab.

Video shows the driver suddenly jumping out and running as DPS troopers, Border Patrol agents, and sheriff’s deputies move in around the truck on Interstate 35 in La Salle County.

Officials say the migrants were concealed in the sleeper area behind the driver’s seat. The suspect, identified as John David Amaya, was arrested and charged with smuggling of persons.

Four minors from Mexico and Guatemala were among the group, according to DPS.

Following the incident, the group was referred to U.S. Border Patrol.

UPDATE: It is now being called potentially the deadliest industrial tragedy in modern Washington State history. Another press conference was held this afternoon following yesterday morning’s catastrophic failure of a massive tank containing the highly corrosive chemical known as white liquor at Nippon Dynawave Packaging in Longview.

One more fatality has now been confirmed after an individual succumbed to their injuries at the hospital, bringing the death toll to two. Nine more people remain missing and are presumed dead after Scott Goldstein said response operations are now shifting into recovery mode. Seven employees remain hospitalized, while the firefighter injured during the initial response has since been released.

Chief Goldstein said officials now estimate that roughly 25,000 gallons of white liquor remain inside the damaged 900,000-gallon tank. Approximately 500,000 gallons were released during the blast. Crews will continue working to stabilize the tank and make the area safe enough for entry. Officials say that as victims are recovered, they will undergo decontamination before being transported to the Cowlitz County Coroner's Office for identification and family notification. The Coroner’s Office will release names once all victims have been identified.

The incident occurred around 7:15 a.m., near a shift change at the facility. Officials say the affected areas included a break room along with administrative and operational workspaces. At this time, investigators do not believe any video of the explosion exists, but officials described the blast as extremely powerful, causing heavy damage to vehicles, buildings, and mechanical equipment throughout the area.

The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries confirmed it currently has open inspections involving the facility, although officials declined to provide specifics. Details including the age of the tank and when it was last inspected also remain unknown.

Officials additionally confirmed there have been no negative impacts to local air quality or drinking water systems as a result of the disaster. However, the public is still being asked to avoid ditches and dikes in the area while water testing continues. Authorities also confirmed the pH level of the Columbia River was affected, at least initially, following the release.

The cause of the tank failure remains under investigation.

More details will be provided as they become available.

Great question.

LELDF is highly selective about the cases we support.

We don’t defend misconduct.

We ONLY defend officers who have been unfairly targeted and politically prosecuted for lawful actions they took in the line of duty.
