Winds cause scattered power outages SEATTLE — High winds knocked down trees in parts of Western Washington as the smaller of two forecast rain storms blew through Western Washington today blowing in the 40 mph to 60 mph range.Puget Sound Energy and Seattle City Light reported scattered outages. In Seattle’s Greenwood neighborhood, a large cedar tree hit the roof of one home and sent a branch through a neighbor’s living room. No one injured. A power outage at Western Washington University in Bellingham forced the university to suspend classes until noon today. At Gig Harbor, a mudslide knocked down a garage and buried two cars. Two residents of the house escaped unharmed. Meteorologist Dustin Guy at the Seattle Weather Service office says winds gusted to around 50 early today around Whidbey Island, but no damage was reported. The National Weather Service forecasts stronger winds tonight and Tuesday. Because of the chance of stronger winds, a high wind watch is in effect today and Tuesday for all of Western Washington. Heavy rain is filling rivers that flow off the Olympics and North Cascades. A flood warning is in effect for the Skokomish River. Flooding is a possibility on the Nooksack. Eastern Washington is relatively calm by comparison with a chance of valley rain and mountain snow through Tuesday. (with information from KOMO Radio, KIRO Radio, KCPQ-TV, Bellingham) |
