SEATTLE -- A storm that kicked up Monday evening caused mudslides, flooding, cut power in several counties and blocked a major highway in Mason County.

A five-mile stretch of Highway 101 in Mason County was closed for nearly 20 hours as crews cleaned up downed trees, water and mud that blocked the road. The road was reopened in both directions between mileposts 325 and 330 by 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Video from Chopper 7 showed an excavator removing mud and debris. Excavators are also working to clear out Miller Creek and Sun Creek to keep more water from flowing onto the highway.

Once day broke Tuesday morning, crews were seen from Chopper 7 chopping down trees on the slope above Highway 101.

Department of Transportation officials said the saturated hillside is very unstable.

KIRO 7 Reporter Rick Price said the slide took out a utility pole and power lines as a chunk of the steep hillside peeled away. The power pole came to rest in a nearly upright position near the road, Price said.

Mudslides also blocked Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks in north Seattle, White Rock, B.C. and near Skykomish. The north Seattle slide blocks the tracks north of Carkeek Park. The other two slides have since been cleared.

Amtrack service has been suspended due to the risk of potential slides and passengers on effected trains are being bused.

High winds overnight cut power in several counties. On Tuesday morning, Grays Harbor County PUD reported there were 13,000 customers without power. The PUD said most of customers should have power restored by the end of the day. Outages there caused the closures of schools in the Taholah and Lake Quinault school districts.

There were 800 homes without power in Snohomish County. In King County, power was cut to some homes on Mercer Island but has since been restored.
