Heavy rain, king tides flood Seattle neighborhoods

Several roads in Seattle's South Park neighborhood were under water Tuesday morning. King tides and heavy rain Tuesday morning caused urban flooding in throughout the Puget Sound region.

The KOMO News helicopter got an aerial view of the South Park neighborhood Tuesday showing cars submerged in water and warehouses and homes flooded.

People in the neighborhood were pumping water out of businesses and homes. One homeowner KOMO News spoke to said his renters called him at 8 a.m. Tuesday and when he arrived, the water was up to his knees in the downstairs of the home.

Water levels are expected to go down throughout the afternoon Tuesday, however, another system will bring more rain to the region. There will be another period of high tide peaking around 7 p.m. Tuesday, which could cause another round of urban flooding.
