Transcript for Major storm moving east across the country
And good evening. Thanks for joining us on this Sunday. I’m Tom llamas. We begin with that major storm rolling in off the pacific, pummeling the west. Now moving east across the country. Snow shutting down I-80 in the high Sierra. Fierce winds sparking this power line in Seattle. Hundreds of thousands without power at its peak. And rain triggering mudslides in the burn-scarred areas of southern California. Part of the pacific coast highway closed until tomorrow. The wind and rain grounding flights and delaying others. When the storm moves on, there’s another one right behind it. Marci Gonzalez starts us off in malibu. Reporter: Tonight, that powerful storm still creating havoc from California to Washington. This video taken near Seattle capturing this power line being blown by the strong winds, sparking and catching fire. In northern California, heavy snow and whiteout conditions closing down I-80 for hours. Backing up traffic for miles. Drivers like this one, forced to pull over and chain up. In San Francisco, high tides and gusts up to 70 miles per hour, sending waves crashing over the sea wall into San Francisco bay. Flooding this popular pier. In southern California, multiple funnel clouds reported. This one spotted spinning off the coast of Long Beach.

And rob Marciano joins us now. You’re tracking that storm, but as Marci said, there are other storms right behind it? Yes, the storm that hit the west coast this morning, hitting the east coast later this week. And two more storms behind it already. One coming to San Francisco, strong winds and heavy snow falling along I-80. The next one coming late Tuesday. With more in the way of wind. This will be widespread across the entire west coast. And some cold air across the northeast. For some, this is the coldest air since Thanksgiving. Windchills in the teens and single digits. And the storm will be getting into this area Tuesday. For some, it will bring some snow. Rob, thank you. We move on to major
