There was a overnight storm that knocked out power in parts of western WA. which is nothing out of the ordinary. Commonly happens between November and April. This is the wettest start to the year since records have been kept in Seattle. The soil is saturated to the max. Combine that with a high wind event and you have power outages from trees falling on the power lines. The outages from this latest wind event effected between 400 and 500k people.
