my God, this forum has devolved into the worst of the worst. It's always emotional and reactionary in here, but it seems that the rational and seasoned members have pulled back to make way for the kids.
I'm going to step back for the day too. It's just too much uninformed nonsense.
I am excited for a lot of you guys, because it seems like this is your first time tracking a PNW winter storm. I remember my first time.
I think it’s more spectacular that the “boom” heard was the flashing of water to steam, namely Spirit Lake. What didn’t flash into steam was part of that tsunami that was hundreds of feet high. Heat shock likely killed Johnston & Truman before their brains registered pain.
I was a 1-year-old living in Kelowna, so I was years away from appreciating the significance of the event. After seeing a 10 year anniversary special on TV, I got hooked on this event. My folks remember that in the southern interior of B.C. that the sky got hazy. Not black like southern WA. The sonic boom wasn’t heard in the southern interior, but it was heard in the Fraser Valley.
