Pineapple Express Problems: Washington drivers face mudslides, flooded roads, and stranded cars

After a night of heavy rain, lingering flooding is causing issues in western Washington. Nearly two dozen rivers are under flood warnings, meaning flooding is imminent or already happening, and nearly a dozen rivers experienced major flooding. The rivers that reached major flood stage Tuesday morning include the Carbon, Cowlitz, Grays, Naselle, Nisqually, Snoqualmie, Snohomish, Skagit, Skykomish, White, and the Puyallup. However, some rivers have since receded but may reach flood stage again when the rain returns. Standing water is causing drivers to hydroplane as they commute, even in downtown Seattle, due to backed-up storm drains. Water rescues have occurred on our waterways, schools were delayed or even closed due to standing water, and mudslides have shut down some roads, including eastbound I-90 near North Bend for several hours on Tuesday morning. State Route 106 was also reported to be partially closed in Mason County. Roads are also closed by flooding. The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office said several cars became stuck after drivers tried to cross flooded roads. On Ben Howard Road in Monroe, a car and a Jeep were seen stuck in the floodwaters. Authorities warn that if there's water on the road, it's usually much deeper than it looks, and drivers should never go around a barrier to walk or drive through flood waters. Six inches of fast-moving water can knock over an adult, while a foot of water can carry away most cars. Two feet of rushing water can sweep away SUVs and trucks. -------------------------------------------------- For more on the story: https://komonews.com/news/local/weste... _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KOMO News on Facebook:   / komonews   KOMO News on Twitter:   / komonews   KOMO News on Instagram:   / komo4   KOMO News on TikTok:   / komo4seattle   Subscribe to KOMO on YouTube:    / @komonews   Watch more top local news stories:    • Видео   For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.komonews.com/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://komonews.com/watch Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-...
