Torrential rains in the Washington, D.C., area on Monday created floods all around the White House – and in the White House, including large puddles of water in the basement of the White House press room. “It’s official: The White House basement is flooding,” tweeted CNBC correspondent Eamon Javers. It’s not totally unique: The press basement is below ground level, and frequently absorbs water after heavy rains.
