The capital city of the United States of America Washington is facing a flash flood as the heavy rain continues in the city. The official residence of US president ‘White House’ is also facing a flood threat.
The US media reported that the basement offices in the white houses were flooded with water. A video of this was also released.
The daily life in the city was badly affected in the heavy rain. Train and road transport has been disturbed in the flood. The heavy rain also affected power distribution. The National Archives and Museum were closed due to flood.
