Washington state faces recovery challenges after deadly bomb cyclone as California braces for heavy rain
Washington state is recovering from a bomb cyclone that caused two deaths and left over 320,000 customers without power. The storm brought high winds, heavy rain, and snow, leading to widespread damage and road closures. Another storm is expected to hit Washington on Friday, bringing gusty winds and more mountain snow. This new system will develop off the coast and may cause additional power outages. Meanwhile, Northern California is experiencing a strong atmospheric river, with flood watches in effect for 2 million people. The region could see up to 16 inches of rain and significant snowfall in the mountains, raising concerns about flooding and landslides.
