The Mid-Atlantic region is currently facing significant flooding risks as an intense atmospheric river leads to dangerous downpours, pouring over a foot of rain in some areas. A Flood Watch has been issued for parts of the DC region and Maryland in anticipation of continued showers and thunderstorms. This sluggish storm system has prompted alerts from Florida to Virginia, as millions brace for multiple rounds of rain and severe weather, while Charleston has already broken a 126-year-old rainfall record. As conditions remain unsettled, experts indicate that heavy rains and potential flash floods could disrupt life across much of the East Coast.
