"From The Weather Channel: More than 300,000 homes and businesses remained without power Thursday morning after damaging winds slammed multiple states, including South Dakota, Colorado, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Washington state. Nearly two dozen winds gusts of more than 100 mph were recorded Wednesday. The powerful winds brought down trees and powerlines killing one man and critically injuring two children."
"The severe winds are adding to the misery for tens of thousands of people forced out of their homes by more than a week of relentless rain and deadly flooding in Washington state. As many as 100,000 people had been under evacuation orders at times, many of them in the flood plain of the Skagit River north of Seattle. Elevated rivers and flood risk could persist until at least late this month, according to the National Weather Service."
Massive flooding and relentless rain in Washington state displaced more than 100,000 residents and prompted widespread evacuation orders, especially in the Skagit River floodplain north of Seattle. Damaging winds across several states left over 300,000 homes and businesses without power and produced nearly two dozen gusts above 100 mph, toppling trees and powerlines, killing one person and critically injuring two children. First responders conducted hundreds of rescues and assisted evacuations. Elevated rivers and persistent flood risk could last through late month according to the National Weather Service. The director of the Office of Management and Budget announced plans to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
