Washington state is beginning to assess damage from historic flooding. Scott Greenstone with member station KUOW has been following local leaders.
After days of rain and clouds, mists burned off to blue skies this weekend in Monroe, north of Seattle, allowing responders to take helicopters up and begin to see how far the waters reached. Democratic Congresswoman Kim Schrier represents part of the flooded area.
It was practically unfathomable to think near where we were standing, there was water that would have been five feet over my head.
She took a bus tour with other officials through soggy dairy farmland. While damage is widespread, so far the only fatality was outside the flood zone. A kayaker swept over a dam in Seattle by swollen currents. For NPR News, I'm Scott Greenstone in Monroe.
An Arctic blast is sweeping south from Canada into the northern U.S. Cities across the Midwest, including Chicago and Minneapolis, saw dangerous wind chills. Temperatures in parts of North Dakota feel like minus 36 degrees. This is NPR News in Washington. The Palestinian militant group Hamas has confirmed the death of one of its senior leaders in an Israeli airstrike.
Some Palestinians say the attack, which also killed five other Hamas fighters, was a violation of the ceasefire. NPR's Anas Baba reports hundreds of people attended their funeral today.
The funeral of five Hamas fighters and senior commander Raed Saad was held in a makeshift prayer space beside a rubble of one of Gaza's many destroyed mosques. Israel's Sayyid Sa'ad was the deputy commander of Hamas's military wing. Crowds shouted resistant chants as the bodies wrapped in green flags were carried through the narrow alleys of a Shatik camp area of Gaza.
Sa'ad's killing marks the highest-level assassination since a ceasefire deal was struck in October. In that period, Israeli forces have killed over 380 Palestinians. Hamas condemned the target attack as a violation of a truce and demanded the mediators, including the United States, should prevent further violations. Anas Baba, NPR News, Gaza City.
