It could take a couple of days to get power back on to everyone, according to Puget Sound Energy’s Terri-Ann Betancourt.

“We have a lot of transmission damage,” she said. “We have to fix transmissions before working back into neighborhoods and bringing houses back up.”

There were about 250,000 customers without power at the storm’s peak. It was a storm that turned deadly when a man was killedwhen a tree fell on a car in the Upper Loop of Seward Park.

According to KIRO 7’s Nick Allard, Monday should be much calmer, at least to start out. After scattered showers, thunderstorms and hail are possible throughout the region. The wind will calm down, but we can expect gusts of up to 35 mph.
