Historic flooding has battered Washington state in the United States, forcing the cancellation of the popular Leavenworth Christmastown festival amid power outages and dramatic rescues. According to Watchers News, record floods triggered evacuations and left communities submerged, with a driver found dead in a submerged car near Seattle after weeks of heavy rain, as reported by Associated Press. The White River levee breach prompted an evacuation order for the entire city of Pacific, Washington, according to Watchers News on December 16.
A powerful winter storm compounded the crisis, knocking out power to over 1.5 million people across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, per Watchers News on December 17. Disaster Resilience News highlighted these events on December 19, noting widespread disruptions from flooding and storms in the Pacific Northwest.

Multiple emergency fires were downgraded after a communication system failure, ABC News reported on December 15, while a falling tree killed a farmer battling a blaze in Mindarabin on December 17.
Worldwide, extreme weather persists. Record snow, high winds, and blizzards left over 35,000 homes without power in Hokkaido, Japan, according to Watchers News on December 15. Flash floods killed at least 21 in Safi, Morocco, after one hour of intense rain, Watchers News stated on December 15. Severe floods from torrential rains have claimed over 1,100 lives across Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Thailand, and Sri Lanka, prompting Allianz to donate up to 600,000 euros for relief on December 19.
