Record flooding likely on some Washington rivers
The National Weather Service forecasts major flooding on 18 rivers in Western Washington. That means flooding likely to cover roads and invade property. A forecaster at the Seattle office, Ted Buehner (BEE'-ner), says the most significant damage may be at Centralia where the Chehalis is expected to close Interstate 5. Other major flooding is taking place on the Tolt River at Carnation and the Cowlitz near Randle and the Puyallup at Orting.
