"Storm Leaves Thousands Without Power In Pacific Northwest" [1]

"A pair of storms brought strong winds and heavy rain to parts of Washington state and Oregon this weekend.

The National Weather Service reported the remnants of a typhoon caused wind gusts around 50 mph on Saturday evening in Washington state, and heavy rain flooded some roads. More than 25,000 people lost power.

The weather service predicts more rain in the region on Sunday."

Rebecca Hersher reports for NPR October 16, 2016. [2]
