On November 20, a powerful "bomb cyclone" storm struck Washington state, causing widespread disruption. The storm, with tropical-storm-force winds reaching 50 mph (80 km/h) and gusts up to 70 mph (110 km/h), knocked out power to over 600,000 homes and businesses across Washington, southwest Oregon, and Northern California. It caused at least two deaths and two injuries and led to school closures in western Washington. The storm’s rapid intensification, known as bombogenesis, resulted from a collision between cold polar air and warm tropical air. By November 22, heavy rainfall was expected to hit parts of southwestern Oregon and Northern California, potentially reaching 20 inches (50 cm). In response, Canadian utility workers assisted with power restoration efforts in western Washington. As the storm moved toward California, a second powerful windstorm was expected to impact the region. The Pacific Northwest faced ongoing power outages and severe weather warnings.
