The Washington region has been getting soaked all day, and there’s still more rain on the way. Twitter has been inundated with dramatic scenes from National Harbor, Southwest DC, Annapolis, Old Town Alexandria, and other coastal areas, as they experience some of the worst flooding in years.

At the SW Seafood Market the best way to get from one side to the other is by row boat, as they deal with the Washington Channel of the Potomac that has flooded its banks. The mkt is still open they’re selling seafood at water’s edge. pic.twitter.com/Q9Ny3Ly2Tb

Careful of those river levels today! The Awakening at #NationalHarbor is going under and we’re not even at high tide for the day! Remember, high rain levels activate our combined sewage overflows in the District, so please be careful around the #PotomacRiver over the next 2 days! pic.twitter.com/lCNYH31JoM

The rain is coming down hard now. Remember that this could be worst flooding in at least 10 years, according to NWS. @wusa9 pic.twitter.com/Bi3T20gcxd
