The Labor Day weekend, the unofficial end of summer, has been wet, windy and distinctly unsummery in many parts of the U.S., with strong thunderstorms expected through the middle of the country and into the Northeast.

Several feet of standing water left stalled and stranded cars Saturday on the streets of Lake Charles, Louisiana.
