Description
Tens of thousands remain without power days after a series of weather events brought heavy rain and strong winds to western Washington, according to KING 5's First Alert Weather Team.
Friday night's gusty winds knocked several western Washington communities out of power and closed several roadways due to downed trees or power lines.
Utility crews have been working around the clock, some nearly 24 hours straight to restore power. Crews from other parts of the state and Oregon are out to help local crews, which continue to work throughout the night.
Snohomish County Public Utilities District said this is the worst storm it’s seen since 2015, with downed powerlines, trees, and limbs in every part of the county.
Rodney Peterson lives in Marysville, and has been worried about trees behind his home since he moved in. Peterson said he and his wife heard a loud boom Friday night, and saw the tree fell on his home.
Peterson also saw a tree fall on his neighbor’s house all the way to the first floor, and immediately ran to help.
“There was a young lady sleeping on the second floor of the house and there was now she’s on the bottom floor with a tree on top of her. That was traumatic to see,” said Peterson.
