Friday Harbor, the town this property stands in, in 2 storm reports between 2012 and 2015: 1 funnel cloud, 1 heavy rain.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
The rain culminated in a rushing torrent of water down the sidewalks and pooling on First Street. Cars were up to their bumpers in water, and about five inches of rain water pooled in Kings Market, which had to close temporarily in order to remove the water.
