Also, notice how fire does not care what's in its path it will just burn down an entire home. Imagine this happening while you are asleep. By the time you smell smoke it may be too late to escape. Make sure your smoke alarms are working.

If you lose power and are using a portable generator, remember to only run it outdoors at least 20 feet away from your home. Portable generators can produce deadly levels of carbon monoxide in minutes. Make sure you have a working carbon monoxide alarm on every level of your home
In the wake of Monday's cold front, a second cold front will cross the Pacific Northwest Wednesday followed by another atmospheric river. Each of these features will bring additional periods of gusty winds, mountain snow, and heavy to excessive rainfall with renewed flooding.
