Vancouver, WA — Wet. Windy. Welcome back, Pacific Northwest.
The forecast calls for rain and wind today, with gusts of up to 28 mph.
The gusts were powerful enough to knock down trees, including a 50-foot tall tree in Vancouver that narrowly missed two parked cars and a house, according to emergency police dispatch logs.
The tree damaged a fence and pulled down a power line, causing about an hour-long outage at about 3 a.m. The house was located in the 3600 block of Northwest Grant Street.
The weeklong forecast looks like one big, extended rainstorm. Lightning is predicted Tuesday.
