Deadly Bomb Cyclone Brings High Winds, Flooding, Snow To West Coast

7 weeks ago A major storm moving through Northern California toppled trees and dropped heavy snow and record amounts of rain after knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of people in Washington and Oregon. Forecasters warn the risk of flash flooding and rockslides would continue through Friday. The weather service has extended a flood watch for areas north of San Francisco as a plume of moisture known as an atmospheric river inundates Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. Up to 16 inches of rain is forecast in Northern California and southwestern Oregon. The storm system unleashed winds earlier this week that left two people dead and hundreds of thousands without power in Washington state.
