Good evening and its great to have you with us here on a sunday night. And we do begin this evening with yet another storm bearing down on an already soaked and windswept northwest tonight. A month of rain falling this weekend alone, the wettest september ever recorded in some places. And there is more to come tonight. Seattle setting a record, so much rain, part of the roof giving way at the seattle tacoma airport. Seatac, as we call it. In tacoma, washington, a manhole exploding, a burst of water shooting up in the middle of the street, which would soon turn into a river there. Fierce winds have already brought down trees, knocking down power lines. Winds reaching more than 70 miles an hour are expected overnight.

Good evening. While its too early yet to report Real Progress or any kind of real movement, it does appear that the anger of the American Public might just force the hands of some of the holdouts in washington.

By tonight, some rainfall totals could hit ten inches. Abcs ginger zee has more. Look at it, malcolm.
