Good news: floodwaters are finally pulling back across western Washington state—think of those monsoon days when water starts to clear after a downpour! 🌧️➡️🌤️ But don't pop the popcorn just yet. The U.S. National Weather Service has issued flood watches through midweek, and several flood warnings remain active as another wave of rain moves into already saturated areas.
Cleanup crews are on the ground, streets are getting cleared, and neighbors are pitching in. As Roza Kazan reports, teams are working around the clock to restore roads and services. Yet officials warn rivers, already swollen from past storms, could rise again with the next round of rain.
Here's how you can stay safe:
- Stay alert: sign up for local flood alerts or check weather apps regularly.
- Prep early: have sandbags ready and know your evacuation routes.
- Community care: check on neighbors, especially elderly or those with mobility issues.
Whether you're dealing with monsoon floods in Mumbai or a sudden deluge in Jakarta, the takeaway is the same: weather can turn fast. Stay informed, plan ahead, and look out for one another. 🌏🤝
