Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.
I was intrigued so I looked up the average high and low temperatures across WA for August of 1899. Olga's average low of 45F is pretty impressive as it's about 4 degrees colder than anything we've seen in the last 50 years. The fact it's so much colder than every other location on the west side does make me wonder if there was an error with the thermometer at that time or maybe it was just incredible cold winds blowing off the straight.
The Seattle average high for the month was almost 10 d
Looks like a spread of 54/45 back at home today. 0.46” of rain so far and it looks like it’s still raining there right now based off radar. Nice to get a decent soaker late in May.
Greenfield, IA, where my dad grew up and much of my family still lives was struck directly by a major tornado today. From drone footage much of the town was destroyed. My family is OK luckily but at least two people died.
The power of those things is just unbelievable. Trees and houses just shredded in a wide swath right through the center of town.
