Bomb Cyclone Causes Fatalities, Power Outages in Northwest

A powerful 'bomb cyclone' has struck the northwest U.S., causing one death and widespread destruction from strong winds and heavy rain. The storm led to excessive rainfall risks and hurricane-force wind warnings, affecting Washington, Oregon, and California. In Lynnwood, a woman died when a tree fell on a homeless encampment, while another individual was temporarily trapped in a vehicle due to a fallen tree in Seattle. Over 600,000 homes in Washington lost power, with fluctuating outage reports complicating assessments. Wind gusts reached up to 77 mph in some areas, with reports of severe damage across the region. The storm is expected to continue impacting the area, with safety advisories urging residents to avoid going outside.
