Early Wednesday, over 600,000 houses in Washington State were reported to be without power on poweroutage.us. But the number of outage reports fluctuated wildly throughout the evening likely due in part to several weather and utility agencies struggling to report information on the storm because of internet outages and other technical problems. It wasn’t clear if that figure was accurate. More than 15,000 had lost power in Oregon and nearly 19,000 in California.

The World Bank found that parents across the region rank school fees more of a challenge than medical bills and other expenses. Even government-run schools can routinely bar students. In Uganda, parents describe constant phone calls from schools demanding money and making threats. (AP Video by Patrick Onen. Production by Jackson Njehia)
