Crews in Tukwila are continuing to monitor a levee along the Green River after it failed Monday afternoon, prompting a rare Flash Flood Warning that led residents to evacuate immediately.

Residents near a breached levee in Washington state were told to evacuate early Tuesday, just hours after an evacuation alert was lifted for residents near another broken levee in the same county.

A blend of unusual weather created the perfect storm for an onslaught of rain to the northwest as Oregon and Washington have been battered with severe flooding.
