Sandy and Ron Swenson rescue one of their three dogs and two puppies after the flooding, Thursday, Jan. 8, 2009 in Tacoma, Wash. They evacuated late Wednesday night returning for their pets in the morning. More than 30,000 people were urged to leave their flood-endangered western Washington homes as snowmelt and rain swelled rivers and caused mudslides and avalanches that engulfed neighborhoods and roadways.
