A home in Deming, Washington, was swept away by record floodwaters from the Nooksack River on December 11, 2025, as the river reached a crest of 150.49 feet. The couple inside escaped unharmed but were left displaced, prompting a community fundraiser. The incident highlights ongoing risks in flood-prone areas amid increasing extreme weather.
