@accuweather: What a difference a few months make! Snoqualmie Falls is roaring after back-to-back atmospheric river events in Washington this week.

benminnn :

we paid for the whole waterfall so we're gonna USE THE WHOLE WATERFALL

melebar :

And yet the rubes of the world still do not believe in climate change.🙄 Our education system is failing us and only getting worse.

cam :

One of the wettest waterfalls we'd ever seen, from the standpoint of water

TnT :

nov 15 so no the rise didnt just happen because of the storm

Trevor Walker :

Atmospheric Rivers Fuel Most Flood Damage in the U.S. West ... An atmospheric river (AR) is a narrow, elongated band in the atmosphere that transports massive amounts of water vapor, like an invisible river in the sky, carrying more moisture than Earth's largest rivers. These phenomena bring crucial precipitation (rain/snow) to mid-latitudes, especially the West Coasts of North/South America, but can also cause severe flooding and landslides when intense. They form from tropical moisture, get channeled by winds, and release heavy precipitation as they hit mountains, often categorized by intensity from beneficial (AR1-2) to hazardous (AR4-5).

“Atmospheric river” is one of those overused buzz-words that becomes irritating very fast, just like everyone in the media started using the reviled word “narrative” a few years ago. Just call it “heavy rain”, we are fine with plain words.

MJ :

put the twin peaks music over it

Brando :

this is the part of the river going through fall city, ive never seen it so full

Jeanne :

after a hard rain..

CindyLue❌ :

Mighty power of God. Beautiful. Be careful and stay safe. ❤️🙏

Judi B :

This is why I plan waterfall hikes after storms.

Capt5152 :

You sure it’s not Pineapple Express

KimmyD👍❤️☺️ :

My sister lives in Orting and had to evacuate due to flooding.

zorro6858 :

Thank you for the comparison shot. I'm always waiting for this.

Judith Moses495 :

Did Snoqualmie Falls just say "hold my beer"?

HelgaPataki :

Seattle be killing me🤦🏾‍♀️our weather is wild. It goes from one extreme to the next.

Veille_Mort :

I bet California is salivating at the thought of having this much water

winterfun 25 :

Just wondering why the last couple years they had to change the name of rain to atmospheric river events. Sounds like the weatherman was worried about losing his job that he was wrong 50% of the time and still got a paycheck out just saying.
