TUKWILA, Wash. — A Flash Flood Warning is in effect for a dam break on the Green River near Tukwila, which is causing the potential for "life-threatening flash flooding."
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued the alert at 11:51 a.m. Monday, saying that the Desimone Levee on the Green River, has failed.
Kent, Renton and Tukwila all could experience flash flooding as a result of the dam break.
Residents and businesses east of the Green River in the Orillia area in Tukwila, Renton, Kent are under a Level 3 (Go Now) evacuation notice. People in that area should go north or south.
Emergency officials warn people against walking or driving through standing or moving water, and advise everyone to respect barricades and road closures.
The National Weather Service added that the break happened along the east side of the Green River along S Todd Boulevard.
I thought CO2 causes droughts.

There’s nuthin’ carbon can’t do! It’s the miracle element.
Many billions of dollars of industry downstream.

“It’s the miracle element.”

The levee did break and lots more rain coming.

“People in that area should go north or south.” What if a person needed to go east or west.
Stay safe out there!
Who knows? Maybe the flooding will cough up more victims from the Green River Serial Killer’s spree that is still waiting to surface.
Hunga Tonga volcano eruption put 14% more water vapor into the atmosphere, trapping heat, and its aftermath was projected to effect us for 7 years.

I have been at that location dozens of times.
A lot more coming.
And there’s still millions of tons of water upstream.
