A powerful storm, one of the strongest in decades, hit the northwest United States on Tuesday evening, bringing high winds, heavy rain, and widespread disruptions. The storm, referred to as a “bomb cyclone” due to its rapid intensification, has caused power outages and downed trees across the region.

The Weather Prediction Center issued warnings for excessive rainfall from Tuesday to Friday as an atmospheric river brought large amounts of moisture to the area. The hardest-hit areas are expected to be from south of Portland, Oregon, to the north of San Francisco.
