Joaquin soaks eastern US, leaves devastation in Bahamas

Parts of the US southeast were under water on Saturday, deluged by Hurricane Joaquin's torrential rains, with forecasters predicting historic flooding for the already waterlogged region. Joaquin, a powerful Category Four storm, brought record-setting rain to the southeastern US after devastating parts the Bahamas and threatening to do much the same to Bermuda. News reports have blamed Joaquin for four deaths in the United States since Thursday.
