A blizzard lashed the Pacific Northwest today, with winds gusting up to 110 miles an hour knocking down trees and damaging homes and businesses, as heavy rains at lower altitudes swelled rivers and led to flooding.
About 1.5 million homes and businesses in Washington and Oregon last power, as falling trees brought down power lines and blocked access to some roads. The downed trees and fierce weather prevented repair crews from reaching some areas to restore power.
:-(
Cheers,
Scott.
