Skagit County has been hit by multiple waves of catastrophic flooding over the past week. Amid the devastation, there is a bright spot: A floodwall in Mount Vernon successfully held off the Skagit River as it rose to a record 37.7 feet. That floodwall only exists because it sits in an area determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to be at highest risk of flooding. Many residents of Skagit county might be unaware of the current flooding risk to their homes or businesses – because, according to The Seattle Times, Skagit County’s flood maps haven’t been updated in 40 years. We'll hear from Lulu Ramadan, who reported on these flood maps, before turning to Kristiana de Leon, who had to evacuate malamutes amid flooding along the Puyallup River last week.

JB White returns for a wide-ranging Monday episode of RattlerGator Report, blending personal updates with a deep dive into what he sees as an unfolding, multi-layered global conflict. After recapping travel to New York City and observations from conversations with financial and legal insiders, JB pivots to what he calls a coordinated “whole-of-government offensive” led by President Trump. He focuses heavily on financial warfare, Bitcoin's role as “digital capital,” and the strategic implications of U.S. dominance over global monetary and commodity systems. JB analyzes London's role in eurodollar manipulation, China's long game, and why he believes the City of London, not nation-states or ethnic groups, sits at the center of anti-American power. Throughout the episode, he stresses discernment, warns against distraction and doom narratives, and argues that Trump's true leverage lies in his role as Commander in Chief rather than chief executive. A dense, opinionated episode connecting geopolitics, finance, military strategy, and information warfare into a single battlefield.

The current episode elucidates the dire situation unfolding in the Pacific Northwest, where a potent atmospheric river has instigated severe flooding, prompting the governor of Washington to declare a statewide emergency. As multiple rivers reach or exceed flood stage, the National Guard has been activated to assist in the response efforts. We explore the rapid rise of levee concerns, particularly in regions such as the Skagit, Snohomish, Chehalis, Cowlitz, and Puyallup basins, underscoring the critical need for residents to heed local evacuation guidance and avoid flooded roadways. Moreover, we discuss the implications of high wind warnings in southeastern Wyoming, where gusts have reached alarmingly high levels, resulting in hazardous driving conditions. This episode aims to provide an informed overview of the ongoing weather-related adversities, emphasizing the necessity for vigilance and preparedness in the face of such natural calamities.A persistent atmospheric river continues to exert its influence over the Pacific Northwest, leading to severe weather conditions characterized by intense precipitation and resultant flooding. The governor of Washington has declared a statewide emergency, which has necessitated the activation of the National Guard to assist in mitigating the impact of the flooding that affects multiple rivers, some of which are reaching or exceeding flood stage. Concerns regarding levee integrity remain paramount, particularly in the Skagit, Snohomish, Chehalis, Cowlitz, and Puyallup basins, where swift rises in water levels pose a significant risk to the surrounding communities. Residents are urged to exercise caution, avoiding flooded roadways and adhering to local evacuation directives as the situation develops. As we navigate through this precarious weather event, the Weather Prediction Center has issued warnings for elevated rainfall risks across western Washington and northwest Oregon, with the potential for additional precipitation persisting into the weekend, thereby exacerbating the already critical conditions.Takeaways:* The Pacific Northwest is currently experiencing severe weather conditions due to a powerful atmospheric river. * Governor of Washington has declared a statewide emergency, activating the National Guard for flood response. * Residents are advised to avoid flooded roads and adhere to local evacuation guidance promptly. * Wyoming is facing significant wind hazards, resulting in the closure of major highway segments. * Alaska has established a Bethel Assistance Hub to aid survivors from the recent West Coast storm. * New York continues to experience winter storm warnings due to lake effect snow and hazardous travel conditions.

A potent Pacific atmospheric river is currently inundating Washington and Oregon, resulting in significant urban and river flooding. The episode elucidates the ongoing flood warnings affecting several rivers in these regions, while simultaneously addressing a rapidly advancing winter storm traversing the upper Midwest and Great Lakes. This storm is anticipated to produce bursts of snow, pockets of freezing rain, and robust winds, thereby complicating travel and potentially causing localized power outages. Moreover, Southeast Alaska is grappling with perilous wind chills under cold weather advisories, as the National Hurricane Center confirms a lack of active cyclones in both the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific during this off-season. Throughout the discussion, we emphasize the necessity for vigilance and preparedness in the face of these severe weather conditions.Takeaways:* The Pacific atmospheric river continues to cause significant urban and river flooding in Washington and Oregon, necessitating urgent caution. * Multiple regions are under flood warnings due to saturated soils and strong winds, which pose risks of falling trees and power outages. * Severe winter storms are affecting the Midwest and Northeast, leading to hazardous travel conditions and potential power disruptions due to ice and snow. * In Alaska, dangerously cold temperatures persist, bringing about severe wind chill advisories that require vigilance and preparedness. * California's Bay Area is experiencing notable coastal hazards, including strong currents and high breaking waves, prompting advisories for beachgoers. * Oregon remains under flood watch as continuous heavy rain leads to rising river levels and associated dangers in the region.
