A powerful atmospheric river has slammed Washington State, dumping up to 15 inches of rain in some areas and forcing the evacuation of more than 100,000 residents. The extreme weather event triggered widespread flooding, mudslides, road closures, power outages, and emergency rescues across multiple counties. Officials warn that rivers remain at critical levels as more rain threatens already saturated ground. In this video, Lisa Cabrera breaks down what an atmospheric river is, why the Pacific Northwest is increasingly vulnerable to these events, and how climate pressure, infrastructure strain, and emergency preparedness factor into the growing impact on everyday Americans.
