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
Lots of trees down around town. Many in one of our city parks. Sounds like it was a small tornado that came through. NWS Hastings has sent a crew out. Our neighbors boat on its trailer was lifted into his yard. A church in town had its brick steeple toppled. Storage shed for Subway was flipped over. Our basketball hoop was flipped onto my son’s car. Windshield smashed, dents and scratches to the hood, and the hoop was destroyed. We just took it to the city landfill.
I got 1.0" this am. A lone cell before the line then the line couple hours later. Apparently nothing severe here in my area. Im at a incredible 14.06" since March 31st
