Abstract

The article focuses on the severe flooding in the Pacific Northwest, particularly in Washington, due to heavy rainfall. Governor Bob Ferguson has declared a statewide emergency and is seeking federal assistance to help residents affected by the flooding, which has already caused significant damage and prompted evacuation orders for approximately 75,000 people. The region has experienced up to 20 inches of rain in just a few days, with more expected, exacerbated by a warm atmospheric river that has led to unusual rainfall patterns instead of snow at higher elevations. Flooding has notably impacted the Snoqualmie and Skagit Rivers, leading to school and road closures. [Extracted from the article]
