Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The National Weather Service names
Tonasket, the town this property stands in, in 3 storm reports between 1997 and 2014: 1 hail, 1 flash flood, 1 thunderstorm wind.
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.
A flash flood washed out approximately 200 yards of a portion of the eastbound lane of Highway 20 at milepost 266. One lane was kept open for traffic. Damage cost were estimated.
Thunderstorm winds uprooted three to five large trees on the north end of town. A lightning strike hit a power pole and knocked out power to portions of the town. Heavy rain also overwhelmed storm drains resulting in some standing water over roadways.
