Washington is under a state of emergency after days of torrential rain have caused historic floods, forcing thousands to flee their homes. Flood warnings in the western part of the state have put 100,000 residents in Skagit and Snohomish counties under Level 3 evacuation orders, meaning they were told to ‘leave now.’ Governor Bob Ferguson cautioned everyone to follow evacuation instructions as flooding could reach catastrophic levels on Friday. The Washington National Guard has been deployed to assist with the flood response. Over 300 Guard members are on duty to support first responders as of Friday morning. The National Guard said guardsmen have helped fill 7,500 sandbags in support of flood relief operations in Skagit County. Should America focus on its internal affairs than destablising other countries ?
