Flood

I spent the weekend in Suncadia located near Roslin Washington and was amazed how quickly the snow was melting over the weekend...the West Valley in Yakima already had flooding over the weekend and guess what the massive snow melt is headed this way!

Heavy rainfall along the east slopes of the Cascades coupled with higher temperatures has caused the Yakima River to overflow its banks in the Yakima area. Of course, the Yakima River flows through our area, and those along the river in Prosser, Benton City and West Richland are no strangers to the flooding, but what will happen this time around?

We're getting more looks at the scary flooding that caused chaos throughout Texas last week.

Perhaps the White House could have delayed this proclamation just a bit!

When your sprinkler line or even irrigation pipe breaks, it's a mess in your yard.  Imagine a large underground water line!

Benton County Emergency Management is advising residents that a Flood Warning has been issued for the Yakima River. For more information, click here. For Flood Preparedness information, click here.
