US: Crews work to restore power after Pacific Northwest storm
Crews worked Sunday to restore power after windstorms pummelled parts of Washington state and Oregon over the weekend and left hundreds of thousands of people without electricity, officials said. The storm brought winds that registered gusts of about 60 mph (96 kph) at Sea-Tac Airport in Washington, the National Weather Service in Seattle said. Alaska Airlines said it grounded all its flights between 4:20 a.m. and 5:15 a.m. Sunday after a power outage in the Seattle area, where its operations are based. Airline spokeswoman Oriana Branon said the power went out around 3:30 a.m. and came back on about an hour and a half later. She said 27 flights were delayed and five were cancelled. Inconvenienced customers were being offered compensation on a case by case basis, she said.<br/>
