Tracking wind damage after severe storm in Puget Sound
FOX 13's Jennifer Dowling is live in Lake Stevens where an overnight windstorm caused thousands of power outages - bringing down trees and powerlines. A lot of communities in Snohomish County are waking up without power Saturday morning.
A severe weather system bringing widespread rain and strong wind gusts throughout the Puget Sound has left hundreds of thousands without power Saturday. Crews all around the region are cleaning up debris, and some homeowners are dealing with trees that have fallen through their homes.
As of 10:00 a.m., PowerOutage.us is reporting nearly 230,000 customers without power throughout the state, with the majority of them happening in Western Washington. The brunt of the damage appears to have been in the North Sound and Admiralty Inlet, with nearly 120,000 people waking up in the dark in Snohomish County, and nearly 35,000 in Island County. More than 12,000 customers are without power in Jefferson County, and crews say it might take days to get everything completely restored.
