MARYSVILLE, Wash. – A clean-up is under way in Marysville after heavy rain flooded a residential neighborhood there.

The wild weather swept through the Snohomish County community Sunday evening, flooding streets and cars. A National Weather Service spotter reported 1.25 inches of rain fell in just three hours as the storm cell stalled over the area.

Neighbors said the streets looked more like canals as the heavy rains quickly overwhelmed storm drains and began backing up.

The Parkview Estates neighborhood was one of the hardest hit areas.
