Unstoppable Storm: Bomb Cyclone Leaves 2 Dead 

United States: A big storm, called a “bomb cyclone,” is hitting the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. It’s also bringing strong winds, heavy rain, and lots of snow, and has already caused two deaths and left many people without power.  

The first storm which brought a lot of rain and snow to places like Oregon and Northern California. Now, a second, even stronger storm is on its way, making things even worse. 

The two incidents occurred in the Seattle, Washington region where two people were killed when trees fell on them during Tuesday, police report. A woman died while showering alone at her residence, while another woman died at a homeless camp. 

As reported by the Accuweather.com, the next storm to hit from later Thursday into Friday will not match Tuesday’s powerhouse storm. The storm will brush up against the northern tier of California as well as the coasts of Oregon and Washington but not directly enough and nor weak enough to avoid wind, rain, and potentially even snow. 

Peaks reached 85 mph in Oregon and 101 mph was observed off the coast of Vancouver Island on Tuesday. The storm had bottomed out to 27.82 inches of mercury (942 mb), possibly the deepest barometric pressure measured off the coast of Washington State. Between one and twelve and a quarter inch of snow was reported in Washington with as much as the foot and a half reported at Malott. 

Gauges at Venado and Austin Creek, located northwest of Sacramento, recorded 12.29 inches and 11.66 inches respectively Thursday morning as more than a foot of rain poured down in northern California. 

In Puget Sound, situated on the northwestern part of Washington, fire officials in a statement reported that two people suffered injuries from a tree that fell on a trailer in Maple Valley. The two victims had been in the trailer when they were attacked. One was extricated rather promptly, firefighters added, with the second taking approximately an hour of efforts. 

“It is safer not to go into the exterior rooms and not to open the windows; it is also safer to drive carefully. These things all refer to the safety and protection of your property; trim loose branches and avoid parking under trees they read on X. 

The Fire Department in Bellevue, east of Seattle, said trees were “coming down all over the city, with especially several on houses.”
