Flood warnings in place after record rains soak eastern U.S.  Thursday, May 01, 2014 09:27 PM PDT By Ian Simpson WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Flood warnings were posted across the eastern United States on Thursday after a powerful storm system unleashed record amounts of rain from New England to Florida, and as the death toll rose from ferocious storms earlier in the week in the U.S. South. The remnants of the storm that dumped up to 11 inches of rain in the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday had moved into the Atlantic Ocean by early Thursday, said Dan Petersen, a National Weather Service meteorologist. "It's winding down pretty quickly," he said, but added that northern Florida and Georgia could get another 2 inches of rain before the system moved on. Florida rescue teams took to boats to pull stranded residents from the fast-moving floodwaters after 11 inches of rain pounded Pensacola and nearby Mobile, Alabama, on Wednesday. Full Story	Top

Exclusive - CP Rail to lead industry in efficiency within six months: CEO  Thursday, May 01, 2014 04:00 PM PDT By Solarina Ho and Susan Taylor TORONTO (Reuters) - Two years after taking control of Canadian Pacific Railway , Chief Executive Hunter Harrison said his aggressive overhaul of the former industry laggard will soon hit pay dirt, with its transformation into North America's most efficient carrier. More efficient operations open the door to a host of new business opportunities, including "everything that might ride the rails", said Harrison, a Memphis, Tennessee native who still speaks with a drawl. Canadian Pacific's first quarter results were bruised by ferocious winter weather that ate into profits. CP transported 90,000 carloads of crude last year and forecasts that it will move 140,000 to 210,000 carloads of crude oil a year by the end of 2015. Full Story	Top
