A foot and a half of rain pushed the water levels of at least four rivers in Washington, including the Skagit River, to hit record highs, surpassing some of their previous records set over 35 years ago.
Over a foot of rain has already fallen in the last few days, and more is on the way amid major flooding in Washington state.
