Days of torrential rain in Washington state has caused historic floods, stranding families on rooftops and washing over bridges. Experts warn that more flooding expected Friday could be catastrophic. Washington is under a state of emergency, with evacuation orders for tens of thousands. The floods have impacted large parts of the state, closing roads and causing landslides. In the north near the U.S.-Canada border, the cities of Sumas, Nooksack and Everson have been evacuated after being inundated. Authorities have rescued people from cars and homes. Another storm system is expected to bring more rain starting Sunday.
