KIRO Newsradio spoke to people around Western Washington Wednesday who are surveying the damage and waiting for power to be restored.

KIRO Newsradio spoke to people around the state Wednesday who are surveying the damage and waiting for power to be restored.“Trees were just falling everywhere, and one fell on a truck, right on the cab of the truck, and the guy, luckily was out trying to move the tree,” she added.“We haven’t had power since about, I don’t know, eight o’clock last night or something like that,” he said. “Situation’s good but it’s kind of interesting. Here in Mill Creek, we don’t have power.

“We had one on our street, a very loud explosion, and then saw it light up the whole neighborhood, and then our power went out,” he shared.“So I heard it snap, and then as it fell, you could hear all the branches cracking and popping,” she told KIRO Newsradio. “It made quite a loud noise.” The tree pulled down the power lines in front of her home. Limbs, leaves and other plants were strewn all over the road.“Just a heck of a storm last night,” he told KIRO Newsradio. “I mean, I’ve been here for 25 years, and I’ve been spending about the last three, four hours picking up my my yard here. Never quite seen anything like it.”“It was just a loud snap and a huge crash, my truck and another neighbor’s truck covered in the tree,” Jay Frazier said.
