Powerful storm knocks out electricity for over 650,000 in northwest U.S

A powerful storm hit the northwest U.S. on Tuesday, leaving over 650,000 customers without power in Washington and 8,000 in Oregon. The storm, described as a "bomb cyclone," caused widespread outages and significant damage. Tragically, a woman in her 50s died when a tree fell on a homeless encampment in Lynnwood. Reports also indicated a vehicle was trapped by a fallen tree in Seattle, but the occupant was rescued and is stable. The National Weather Service warned of strong winds and heavy rain, predicting gusts of 45 to 65 miles per hour. Some areas could see up to 12 inches of rain, raising concerns about flooding and mudslides.
