UPDATE: MASSIVE STORM SWAMPS SEATTLE
By midday Monday, families had evacuated their homes, bewildered grandmothers were
watching basement water levels rise and government officials were forced to acknowledge
that their municipal systems had been pushed over the brink by NEAR-RECORD levels of
rainfall. It was the second-wettest day since Seattle started keeping such records.
By late afternoon Monday, nearly 6 billion gallons of rain had fallen.
