Swollen Snoqualmie Falls Rage in Flood-Hit Washington

Heavy rain caused widespread flooding along the Snoqualmie River in Washington on October 22, local media reported.

The river was expected to crest at 11 pm that night, according to local reports, despite the rain stopping earlier in the day. Snoqualmie police warned people to avoid driving in flooded areas.

Local journalists in the area noted that the flooding had increased the water pressure at Snoqualmie Falls, which soaked visitors in a mist.
