A monstrous wind storm swept across the Puget Sound region Tuesday, leaving 900 locations in need of repairs and more than 200,000 homes without power.

On South Whidbey Island, the storm made its mark in the afternoon, knocking out power as down trees fell across power lines and road ways. According to an online outage map by Puget Sound Energy, on Wednesday more than 2,000 homes were without power in the Freeland area, another 1,000 homes in Langley, and another couple thousand in the Clinton area.

In most areas, energy restoration times were not until the early afternoon, according to the Puget Sound Energy map, which showed that crews were on South Whidbey.

South Whidbey Fire/EMS was spread out over the district to close off roads as trees made them impassable or fell onto power lines. The district’s public information officer, Jon Gabelein, reported Tuesday night that South Whidbey Fire/EMS responded to 64 calls between 3:30 and 8:30 p.m., the period when winds blew the strongest.

“We want to remind residents that while down power lines may appear to be safe, it is very possible that they are still energized and must be avoided,” said Chief Rusty Palmer, in a news release.

In addition to the down trees and power lines, several car crashes were reported by Gabelein. The severity or result of many was unclear as of Wednesday morning. A school bus carrying students on Surface Road was stuck after trees fell across the road, but no one on board was injured. Emergency responders arrived and cut the trees out of the roadway.

On Tuesday, sailings were delayed on the Coupeville/Port Townsend and Clinton/Mukilteo routes due to high winds.

Traffic was almost entirely halted in and out of Langley after its major accesses were blocked by down trees. On Facebook, the Langley Police Department posted: “Currently the only way in to and out of Langley is Brooks Hill Road. We anticipate that power will be out for an extended period of time and we are asking that people check on neighbors that may have difficulty caring for themselves.”

As of Wednesday morning, one commenter posted that Langley Road was accessible.
