SEATTLE -- A Tacoma man died when powerful winds caused a tree to fall and crush his vehicle Tuesday morning, the Washington State Patrol.

A 70-year-old man was driving with his 62-year-old wife when a tree came down and crushed their vehicle at about 7:50 a.m. on Cispus Road outside of Randle.

The man was killed and his wife was transported to Morton General Hospital with chest injuries. She was later released.

High winds are also to blame for knocked down trees, power outages and injuring a teen girl.

The 15-year-old girl was on a camping trip at Camp Waskowitz in North Bend when a windblown limb struck her leg. She was taken to Overlake Medical Center with leg fractures, said KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Gary Horcher.

In Enumclaw, the wind brought down fences, toppled garbage cans and caused a fully grown tree in Sandy Vega's back yard to break in half.

"The wind is too strong. I'm thinking, 'Oh my God, what's happening? The house is broken or something like that,' but, no it's the tree," Vega told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Karen O'Leary.

In Renton, electrical crews spent hours in wet and windy conditions, trying to repair damage after several cottonwoods crashed down onto power lines before hitting the ground on Jones Road.

"We saw and heard power lines flying through the air, the thud and the cracking from the tree, and yeah, it was scary," said Nellie Basher.

The wind did a lot of damage Tuesday morning in the Auburn and Kent areas. Several trees went down on Central Avenue in Kent, blocking half the four-lane road at the height of the morning commute.

Wind gusts of up to 50 mph were felt Tuesday in North Bend, Enumclaw and Black Diamond. Arlington reported wind gusts up to 35 mph, said KIRO 7 Chief Meteorologist Rebecca Stevenson.

Farther inland, the wind gusts have not been as strong, with up to 25 mph recorded in Seattle.

Stevenson said Western Washington will see increasing rain overnight with decreasing winds.

Wednesday will be another breezy day with the strongest winds on the coast ranging from 10 to 20 mph.

“It’s going to be a sloppy, wet commute with some breezy winds,” Stevenson said.

There will be rain at times Wednesday, but will diminish at night before increasing again on Thursday.
