In pictures: A bomb cyclone hit the Pacific North West and Northern California

The US is preparing for a week of storms during Thanksgiving. The problematic weather might interrupt flights ahead of the Holiday, AP News said.

The West Coast is recovering from floods and blackouts after a major storm hit the Pacific Northwest and traveled down the coastline to Northern California.

The news agency said the storm was a Bomb Cyclone, which occurs when a cyclone intensifies rapidly. It caused blackouts and dangerous winds in Washington state.

After passing through the Pacific Northwest, the storm traveled down the coast to North California, where it caused floods and heavy rains. Intensifying by the end of the week.

According to AP News, the storm took two lives in the first half of the week, and Californian authorities found a third person in their car on Saturday, November 23, after the storm hit the state.

The storm caused small landslides, overflowed a river, and flooded some streets, including parts of San Francisco. An atmospheric river, a different kind of storm, also hit the area.

The atmospheric river caused Big Chico Creek to swirl and grow due to runoff from rain and melting snow from the atmospheric river storm, which dumped significant precipitation in the area.

The heavy rains also blocked and alerted roads, like State Route 254, seen in the picture near Redcrest, California.

Melting snow from high areas like Mount Shasta, California (seen in the picture) also contributed to the flooding. Experts forecasted up to 16 inches of rain in Oregon and California.

Still, the most significant damage from extreme weather this week came from the Pacific Northwest, as seen in the picture taken on Friday, November 22, in Bellevue, Washington.

According to AP News, the bomb cyclone unleashed sudden and extreme winds (up to 65 mph in certain areas) that toppled trees into roads and homes.
