Severe Storms Batter West Coast, Leaving Thousands Without Power

A powerful storm has hit Northern California, causing landslides, flooding, and power outages, while tens of thousands remain without electricity in Seattle after the storm's earlier impact. The atmospheric river brought heavy rains, closing roads and threatening homes with mudslides. Meanwhile, the East Coast experienced much-needed rain, easing wildfire risks and preparing ski resorts for the season. The storm, which began as a 'bomb cyclone,' has led to gale and winter storm warnings across the West Coast, with significant wind gusts recorded in the Sierra Nevada.
