Strong Overnight Windstorm Brings Down Trees & Closes SR-410
The powerful overnight windstorm created a long, messy night for crews with the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Several large trees were blown down across Washington State Route 410, forcing a closure along a 10-mile stretch between Mud Mountain Road and just west of Greenwater, Washington.
The closure also impacted traffic heading toward the popular ski destination at Crystal Mountain Resort, with multiple trees in the way.
Photos from the scene show just how serious the situation was overnight.
Huge trees, some appearing two to three feet thick, crashed across the highway and completely blocked the roadway. In several images, the fallen tree trunks stretch from the pavement deep into the dark forest where they snapped or were uprooted.
