Clouds and spotty rain are likely to hold their ground over the southern part of the mid-Atlantic. Drenching showers and thunderstorms are fore- cast to continue over the Southeastern states as some drier air pushes across northern Florida. A swath of dry air and at least partial sunshine will extend from the Great Lakes southwestward to Texas and westward to California. Severe storms will erupt from the Upper Midwest to parts of the central Plains.

Chinese state media re- ported that seven bodies had been pulled from the boat, which was floating with a sliver of its hull jut- ting from the grey river wa- ter. A total of fourteen peo- ple have been rescued, but the vast majority of the 458 people on board, many of them elderly tourists, were unaccounted for. Amid continuing un- certainty about their fate, state broadcaster CCTV an- nounced Wednesday morn- ing that it was suspending live broadcasts from the di- saster site for technical rea- sons. The Eastern Star was traveling upstream Mon- day night from the eastern city of Nanjing to the south- western city of Chongqing when it overturned in Chi- na's Hubei Province in what state media reported as a cyclone with winds of up to 80 mph (130 kph). State media reported that rescuers heard peo- ple yelling for help within the overturned hull, and divers rescued a 65-year- old woman and, later, two men who had been trapped. CCTV said more people had been found and were being rescued, but did not say whether they were still in- side the overturned hull. The yelling was heard Tuesday, and it is not known if any sounds were heard Wednesday. Access to the site of the site was blocked by police and paramilitary troops stationed along the Yangtze river embankment. Scores of trucks belonging to the People's Armed Police were parked along the verge and at least two ambulances were seeing leaving the area with their lights on and si- rens blaring. Huang Delong, a deck hand on a car ferry cross- ing the Yangtze several kilo- meters (miles) upstream of the site, said he was work- ing Monday evening when the weather turned nasty. "From about 9 p.m. it began raining extremely hard, then the cyclone hit and the wind was really terrifying," Huang said while crossing the broad river in a steady drizzle Tuesday afternoon. Huang said he thought it was the worst disaster on that stretch of the river in living memory. The official Xinhua News Agency said the sinking could become the country's worst ship- ping accident in seven de- cades. "We will do everything we can to rescue everyone trapped in there, no mat- ter they're still alive or not, and we will treat them as our own families," Hu- bei military region com- mander Chen Shoumin said at a news conference shown live on CCTV. The survivors included the ship's captain and chief engineer, both of whom were taken into police cus- tody, CCTV said. Relatives who gathered in Shanghai, where many of the tourists started their journey by bus, questioned whether the captain did enough to ensure the passengers' safety and demanded an- swers from local officials in unruly scenes that drew a heavy police response. Xinhua quoted the cap- tain and the chief engineer as saying the four-level Eastern Star sank quickly. The Communist Party-run People's Daily said the ship sank within two minutes.

Divers on Tuesday pulled survivors from inside the overturned cruise ship, state media said, giving some small hope to an apparently massive tragedy with well over 400people still missing on the river. | WEATHER | REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 2015 8 B
