Second wind storm to strike Pacific Northwest as recovery from first storm continues

A second wind storm, known as a bomb cyclone, is set to hit the Pacific Northwest by Thursday evening. This comes as many remain without power from the first storm, which left about 350,000 homes and businesses in the dark. The first storm caused significant damage, including two fatalities from falling trees near Seattle. Heavy rain and snow have already impacted Northern California, with forecasts predicting an additional 5 to 10 inches of rain and wind gusts up to 65 mph. The storms have also affected British Columbia, where around 64,000 customers were still without power as of Wednesday evening. The rain is expected to continue through Saturday, raising concerns about flooding and landslides in the region.
