Easton, the town this property stands in, in 4 storm reports between 2006 and 2013: 2 flood, 1 heavy rain, 1 hail.
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.
Heavy rain on deep snow caused moderate flooding with damage in Elk Meadows subdivision, Cle Elum, Roslyn, and the west portion of Ellensburg. Roads were flooded and buckled in many areas.
In addition to the high water on the Yakima River, numerous small streams and creeks in the west part of the county flooded with roads covered with water in housing developments along Interstate 90 west of Cle Elum and in the northern and western sections of Ellensburg. Forty homes, 64 roads and 3 commercial properties were impacted. Most of the home impacted were surrounded by water with residents cut off from the property by water covered roads. Damage to roads and public works in Kittitas County is estimated at 1.5 million dollars with residential and business damage near 650,000 dollars.
