Severe flooding in western Washington leads to evacuations, closed roads, and damage

Washington is under a state of emergency after back-to-back atmospheric rivers brought torrential rain that has caused rivers to overflow and sparked evacuations, mudslides, and water rescues. Multiple rivers are at or forecast to reach major flood stage, and in some cases, including the Skagit and Snohomish rivers, the flooding will likely be historic. The National Weather Service said catastrophic -- and potentially life-threatening -- river flooding and widespread urban flooding are expected through Thursday afternoon. Gov. Bob Ferguson activated the National Guard to assist with flooding. About 300 service members will be staged and ready to respond. As many as 100,000 residents could be forced to evacuate when rivers reach historic levels. Ferguson is set to provide an update on historic flooding in the state on Thursday afternoon. KOMO News will provide the updates on its website and Youtube and social pages. #severeweather #flooding #floods #westernwashington #historicflooding #weather #skagitriver #snohomishcounty #kingcounty For more on the story: https://komonews.com/news/local/gover... _______________ 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-...
