Severe Flooding in Pacific Northwest as Atmospheric River Hits Hard

Western Washington and parts of Oregon are currently facing significant flooding due to a powerful atmospheric river, which is bringing days of heavy rain to the region. Flood warnings have been issued for several counties, with 23 rivers in western Washington affected. Authorities have declared emergencies in areas like Snohomish and Skagit County, as the Snoqualmie River reaches major flood stages and the Puyallup River also threatens to overflow. Multiple road closures and evacuations are reported, with schools in coastal Oregon shut down due to flooding. As meteorologists warn of potential landslides and more rainfall in the coming days, the region braces for another surge of heavy precipitation and severe weather.
