Interior Minister Florencio Randazzo, who gave the figures, said after visiting the zone: "This is the worst tragedy ever to have struck Tartagal." Strong rains and winds resulted in the Tartagal river breaking its banks, knocking aside trees, cars, houses, shops and even the 100-year-old rail bridge.Rescue workers were searching intensively for two women who witnesses said were plucked from the roof of their home by the furious waters. Argentina's government has sent aid and extra police, firemen and soldiers to the zone, located near the border with Bolivia. -"

The community is coming together, he says, putting up sandbags to keep floodwaters from buildings. Earlier, the city of Snoqualmie declared a state of emergency. King County officials say 16 roads are closed in eastern King County because of flooding on the Snoqualmie and Tolt rivers. Pierce County is calling for emergency evacuations for areas of Sumner along the Puyallup River. Pierce County has declared an emergency due to projected flood warnings for the Puyallup, Nisqually and Carbon rivers.The Skagit County town of Hamilton is evacuating voluntarily.People are filing sandbags and placing them along the Skykomish River in Sultan, trying to protect buildings on Main Street from floodwaters. The flooding Skykomish has closed roads in nearby Gold Bar.Rising floodwaters along the Skykomish and Snoqualmie rivers have triggered evacuation warnings in eastern Snohomish County. The Department of Emergency Management is urging residents along Tualco Loop Road, Tester Road and 164th/Ben Howard Road to prepare for evacuation. Waters in that area are expected to rise above flood stage and begin covering roadways near noon.Officials have urged about 200 people to evacuate from along the rising Carbon River in Orting....From the National Weather Service: One to 3 inches of rain has fallen in the lowlands and 3 to 7 inches of rain has fallen in the Cascades.

Feb. 10: "More than 100 flood warnings were in force this morning as freezing rain, snow and strong winds brought a fresh extreme weather hazard to a beleaguered England and Wales.A powerful storm hovering over the English Channel lashed most of southern Britain, flooding homes in Sussex, Essex and Suffolk during the night as up to a month's rain fell in 24 hours.Further north at least 3,000 homes were left without power after heavy snow fell over a swath of the country from the Welsh borders to the southern Midlands.At least 20 drivers have had to be rescued from their stranded cars in floods around Taunton in Somerset. Highways Agency road maintenance crews worked through the night to clear roads of snow and clean out gullies to drain floodwater. Even so, police forces in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Sussex, Kent, Essex and Suffolk reported roads closed due to flooding, and warned drivers to stay at home. Forecasters said that last night's downpour was adding to the already high level of water in swollen rivers in southern and eastern England due to melting snow. At present the greatest concern was for the town of Chelmsford in Essex, where the Environment Agency placed a severe flood warning on the rivers Chelmer and Can. It has imposed nearly 300 less severe alerts, including 101 flood warnings and 190 flood watches. Low-lying coastal areas were said to be particularly at risk, as the high winds, gusting at up to 60mph, were producing unusually high tides. This had had the effect of "tide-locking" rivers, preventing them from emptying their waters into the sea. When this effect was combined with snow melt and the latest heavy rain, it produced a heightened risk of floods, said Craig Woolhouse, the agency's head of flood defences"

Feb. 8: "DUMAGUETE CITY, Philippines -- At least five persons were killed after heavy rains triggered floods and landslides in Negros Oriental province over the weekend, authorities said. Three people were killed after they were washed away by flood waters while two children were killed in landslides in the mountains of Sagbang in Valencia town...The floods were spawned by strong and steady rains brought about by a low pressure area spotted east of Mindanao. The rains had caused rivers and creeks to rise by about four meters Saturday.The floods washed away a still undetermined number of houses, and placed many parts of Dumaguete City and other towns and cities under water. Reports reaching the provincial disaster coordinating council indicated enormous property damage in what was considered as the worst flooding here in the last 50 years. "We have not yet started to determine the damage because the flooded areas are still inundated and cannot be reached," Dumaguete City Mayor Agustin Perdices said Saturday evening. The floodwaters, however, started receding by late afternoon Sunday, as the rains subsided leavings homes, offices, stores and warehouses damaged, the governor said. Elsewhere in the province, the rains damaged property in Bacong town, eight kilometers south of Dumaguete, up to Bio-os, Amlan, about 30 kilometers north of the capital city. "The rain appeared to be concentrated on the mountain range above these areas so this is where we are getting a lot of damage reports from....Landslides were also been reported in the mountains of Bais City but the damage was worse in the coastal areas because of the meeting of the floods and the waves"
