华盛顿州基萨普县强风致逾万户断电 阵风达50英里
华盛顿州基萨普县消息：强风天气11月7日星期六晚间导致逾万户居民断电，基萨普县大部分地区受到影响。
据普吉特湾能源公司断电地图显示，断电用户主要集中在锡尔弗代尔西侧、基萨普海军基地班戈附近以及班布里奇岛北端，其中中基萨普地区断电范围最大，从野猫湖至班戈基地一带均受影响，断电原因是树枝倒压电线。除强风外，暴雨也持续浸润该地区。国家气象局发布风力警报称，阵风可达每小时50英里，警报持续至11月8日星期日凌晨4时，期间还伴有强降雨。
电力公司表示，部分地区预计于7日深夜恢复供电，抢修人员正在清理倒压线路。气象部门称，8日白天降雨可能性将大幅下降，风力也会随之减弱。此次风暴是本周末席卷华盛顿州西部的一股强天气系统的一部分。

Windstorm Knocks Out Power to More Than 10,000 in Kitsap County with 50 mph Gusts
KITSAP COUNTY, Washington — A windstorm on the night of Saturday, November 7, knocked out power to more than 10,000 customers across much of Kitsap County.
Puget Sound Energy's outage map showed the heaviest impact west of Silverdale, near Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor and at the north end of Bainbridge Island, with the largest outage area in Central Kitsap, from Wildcat Lake to the Bangor base, caused by branches falling on power lines. Heavy rain accompanied the wind. The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory calling for gusts up to 50 mph through 4 a.m. on Sunday, November 8, along with heavy rain.
The utility said some areas were expected to see power restored late on November 7 as crews cleared downed lines. Forecasters said rain chances would drop sharply during the day on November 8 and winds would ease. The storm was part of a strong weather system sweeping western Washington over the weekend.
