Two people were killed by falling trees in Washington state as a powerful storm hammered the Pacific Northwest. In Bellevue, a tree fell into a home, hitting and killing a woman while she was in the shower Tuesday night, Bellevue fire officials said.

A bomb cyclone and an atmospheric river will continue lashing the Pacific Northwest with severe weather conditions, the National Weather Service said.

High winds downed power lines and killed one person in Lynnwood, Snohomish County, with more extreme weather expected throughout the week in the Northwest.

A bomb cyclone hit the Pacific Northwest earlier this week and hundreds of thousands remain without power in Seattle and around the state.

Though that type of weather system doesn’t often develop near Washington, the last one that impacted the Pacific Northwest was earlier this year in January. Bomb cyclones are weather systems that form when the storm’s central pressure drops more than 24 millibars in 24 hours.

While it's still too early to know the total amount of damage this week's bomb cyclone caused, initial reports show wind gusts reached up to 77 mph in Sunrise, 74 mph in Enumclaw and 71 mph in Kosmos. Puget Sound Energy said the hurricane-force winds resulting from this storm will likely cause it to go down in the history books.

At least two people died in the Pacific Northwest and another storm is on the way for areas already flooded.
