Severe weather slams the Pacific Northwest
Severe weather continues for northern California and the Pacific Northwest. It started earlier this week with a strong storm system called a bomb cyclone that brought hurricane-force winds, toppling trees and power lines, and causing hundreds of thousands to be without power. The cyclone then combined with an atmospheric river to unleash life-threatening rainfall, snow and flooding. Northern California could see 16 inches of rainfall, and mountain areas like the Cascades already have more than a foot of snow.
The National Weather Service is monitoring another storm that’s expected to move toward the Northwest coast on Friday, bringing another round of heavy winds, rain and snow.
Because taking care of people is at the heart of everything we do, know that we’ll be here when you need us.
