Severe flooding has struck the Pacific Northwest, particularly impacting Skagit, Snohomish, and King counties. An atmospheric river has led to historic rainfall, with areas receiving up to 20 inches in just a few days. As a result, 100,000 residents have been ordered to evacuate, particularly near the Skagit River, which has reached record levels. The situation remains dire, with numerous evacuations and emergency declarations in place, including the mobilization of the National Guard to assist with rescue efforts. Many homes have been inundated, and flooding conditions are expected to worsen as more rain is forecasted. Areas like Hamilton, WA, have seen waters rise to rooftops, while rescue operations are ongoing. Authorities encourage all residents to stay prepared and heed evacuation orders as the region braces for continued flooding and related hazards.
