WINDSTORM KNOCKS OUT YELM’S POWER


KING-5 was in Yelm yesterday reporting on the windstorm damage and filed this video report.

The Olympian reports:
“About 20,000 Thurston County Puget Sound Energy customers were in the dark Monday night because of downed power lines from Monday morning’s windstorm, a PSE spokeswoman said….

Monday’s windstorm brought sustained winds of 35 miles per hour to Olympia Regional Airport, with a peak gust there of 44 miles per hour, recorded at 10:44 a.m., said Seattle National Weather Service forecaster Johnny Burg.

A trained weatherspotter in the Lake Lawrence area south of Yelm recorded a 84 mile-per-hour gust about 9:30 Monday morning, Burg added.”
