Bomb cyclone leaves nearly 600,000 without power in Pacific Northwest

A bomb cyclone has caused severe weather in the Pacific Northwest, leaving nearly 600,000 customers without power. Strong winds reached up to 101 mph, and heavy snow led to multiple winter weather warnings across the region. Washington experienced the most outages, with over half a million people affected. A woman died when a tree fell in a homeless encampment due to the storm. Power outages were also reported in California, Nevada, and Oregon. The storm is moving eastward, with winter weather expected in Montana and other northern states later this week. Another winter storm is affecting the Plains, bringing significant snowfall to that region.
