4. SOUNDBITE (English) Shari Walter, Washington resident:
"It was pretty, pretty gusty. I mean, it was. To the point where it sounded like a freight train going through you when it came and you could just see those trees bending pretty, pretty well. Even this stalwart, sturdy trees were going pretty good on the the side, you know, being blown over. So lots of branches falling everywhere, smaller branches, hopefully not too big of branches, but you didn’t want to be out in it."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Mario Verduzco, Issaquah resident:
"So yeah, we live like a few blocks away from here. The wind, like, started, like, slowly, just a little bit, and then just right after 5 or 6 and then we started like hearing, and then we will live in like an apartment complex, so you actually felt, you know, the movement and the windows, just like, you know, like bouncing."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Mario Verduzco, Issaquah resident:
"You know, seeing the landscape changing just because of the wind, just for a few hours is just, you know, it’s you know, it’s something that, you know, tells you that the Mother Nature is actually, you know, it’s more powerful than anything else. Right? You can
t stop that."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Deborah Wilk, Washington resident:
"Nature means a lot to me. So these trees, it’s just really sad. I love weeping willow trees. And I’ve seen so many families sitting over there under that tree for so long and it’s kind of destroyed now. And a bunch of big cedars gone. And for me, the cedars, the big cedars are like mother trees. And so to see some of the big ones gone, it’s it’s just kind of devastating."

STORYLINE:
A major storm was sweeping across the northwestern U.S., battering the region with strong winds and rain.

It caused widespread power outages and downed trees that killed at least two people.

Falling trees struck homes and littered roadways in western Washington, where about 460,000 customers were without power Wednesday afternoon.

The deaths from fallen trees occurred Tuesday night at a homeless encampment in Lynnwood and a home in Bellevue, east of Seattle.

The Weather Prediction Center issued excessive rainfall risks through Friday and hurricane-force wind warnings were in effect.

The storm system is considered a “bomb cyclone,” which occurs when a cyclone intensifies rapidly.
