Deadly Bomb Cyclone Strikes US Northwest, Leaving Thousands Without Power

A powerful bomb cyclone has struck the US northwest and western Canada, causing widespread damage and power outages across the region. The storm, which is battering states along the Pacific Ocean, has affected over seven million residents with strong winds, flooding, and heavy snowfall.

The intense weather system has led to significant power disruptions, with hundreds of thousands of people left without electricity as trees are uprooted by fierce winds. Tragically, at least one person, a woman near Seattle, has been reported dead.

Forecasters attribute the storm’s strength to a rapid drop in air pressure off the coast, which rapidly intensified the system, creating hazardous conditions for those in its path.
