Powerful Storm Slams Pacific Northwest, Bringing Down Trees, Power Lines

"On Washington's coast, the Quinault Indian Nation community of Taholah says it was very concerned that the storm would create a swell that would breach a sea wall separating its main village from the Pacific Ocean. The ocean has breached the wall twice in recent years, causing extensive flooding. The tribe is working to relocate the village to higher ground. 
In Washington, Coast Guard officials were dispatched to rescue 40 teenagers and six adults who became stranded at Camp David Jr. County Park on the Olympic Peninsula Friday night. The group called for help after a storm knocked out power and downed trees blocking the camp's exit."
