The Pacific Northwest was bracing for more dangerous weather Saturday, a day after storms slammed the region and touched off two tornadoes.
Forecasters warned residents from Northern California to British Columbia to prepare for the second blast powered by the remnants of a Pacific typhoon. What could be one of the top 10 strongest windstorms
ever recorded in the region was set to bring blinding rain, floods and huge waves.
The National Weather Service issued a high wind warning for the Greater Portland area from Saturday at 11 a.m. Saturday until 12 a.m. Sunday (2 p.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Sunday ET).
The National Weather Service in Portland, Oregon, urged people to stay off roads as multiple streets in the city were flooded and impassable after heavy rains hit the area.
In the middle of the storm, the Coast Guard rescued 40 children and 6 adults by boat after they became stranded at a camp after trees fell and blocked a road, authorities said.
