Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’re probably well aware that Washington has been slammed with unprecedented weather patterns. The state has seen record-breaking rains, flooding, and just downright bizarre weather. Of course, Washingtonians have taken a sec to record some of this so let’s take a look at just what people across the state have seen so far.
Here are the craziest pictures from Washington’s big storm.
To start let’s look at some data. Clearly, cities across the state were getting hit with some serious wind.

Further north, things weren’t much better. The wind actually tipped over a truck on the Deception Pass bridge which is absolutely terrifying.
