Seattle Fire had to pull three people out of a car off Aurora Avenue North and Whitman Place N around 6 p.m. Monday evening. Power lines were also knocked down.
KIRO 7 learned that two of the three people inside that vehicle were 8 years old. The driver of the vehicle told KIRO 7 off camera that it all happened so fast as they were pulling off Aurora Avenue and the strong winds and heavy rain entered the area.
They say everyone is shaken up, but are physically going to be OK.
Seattle Fire, Police and Seattle Department of Transportation had Whitman Place N. shut down for some time as they assessed moving the vehicle and tree off the road.
