The storm system that hit the West Coast, characterized as a 'bomb cyclone,' resulted in significant damage, including power outages, fatalities, and severe weather warnings across multiple states.
The National Weather Service indicated that the atmospheric river has contributed to heavy rainfall, with flood watches extending north of San Francisco as the region braces for further precipitation.
Around 285,000 homes in Washington have lost power due to strong winds, with the situation particularly severe in some areas where tree falls have caused fatalities and widespread disruption.
In addition to dealing with power outages, communities have opened warming centers offering resources like internet access for residents affected by the storm.
