On Tuesday, the first of a series of powerful storms hit the Pacific Northwest, dumping heavy rain and swelling rivers, which led to road closures and high-water rescues. Residents in parts of Oregon and Washington faced power outages, flooding, and school closures, while drivers struggled with debris slides and submerged vehicles. Forecasters warned that the worst is yet to come, as major rivers are expected to crest later this week. The National Weather Service predicts several days of heavy rainfall along the coast and more than a foot of new snow in northwestern Wyoming.
