The flood watch will remain in effect until Wednesday.


Instagram announced Monday that it’s adding Live Rooms to the app.

Live Rooms allow up to four people to broadcast live together at the same time. Previously, the app only allowed users to live stream with one other person.

To start a Live Room, you’ll swipe left and select the Live camera option, then title the Room and tap the Room icon to add guests. When you start the Live Room, you’ll remain at the top of the screen while guests are added. The guests can be added all at once or individually, depending on your preference.

Instagram says Live Rooms are rolling out now on both iOS and Android platforms.
