A gigantic line of powerful thunderstorms with tree-toppling winds is likely to threaten one in five Americans Wednesday is as it rumbles from Iowa to Maryland, meteorologists warn.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg speaks while a map of the projected 2050s 100-year flood plain of New York City is displayed in New York, Tuesday, June 11, 2013. The projections paint an unsettling picture of New York's future: a city where by the 2050s, 800,000 people could be living in a flood zone that would cover a quarter of the land, and there could be as many 90-degree days as is now normal for Birmingham, Ala.
