Most schools in the Couve went into lock down while a small tornado touched down in the Couve.
Small amounts of damage and some power out. Sounds like we can still train tonight.

Hit a trailer at the Hazel Dell Fred Meyer, blew transformers out at that intersection then blew down a billboard at 78th and St Johns. Sketchy coverage so far on the news, but some coming in. Prairie High was said to be hit by lightning which blew up some computers. |

It was really ugly out here in the Washougal area. Got very dark and we had some heavy hail. They are showing the area around Washougal as "bad" on the weather maps...

Hopefully everyone is okay! The last tornado I remember that hit that area was when I was a kid and it took out a Bowling Alley and a school! It jumped right over our house - it was scary!
Keep us uprised of the situation! I pray that everone is safe and noone got hurt!

There is damage in the Hazel Dell area. The Vancouver Rowing club that fields high school crew teams lost all of their boats.
A few houses without roofs and lots of trees and signs blown down.
So far no people hurts reported.

Glad I don't live up there any more. Was there for the first one. Went to school with the girl that her parents own the bowling alley, i remember my brother was at Covington Jr. High and they had to line up against the walls.

absolutely nuts................ News crews everywhere.......... it was crazy, it would touch down and then skip a couple miles, then touch down again. One of our parents had the tornado touch in his backyard. It opened both doors of his horsebarn and scoured it out right down to the dirt. Stall mats, dog kennels, his ATV, horse feed, bales of straw and hay, all the bedding-GONE !! His 20 large trees on his property are now down to 3. All the outdoor furniture in his backyard is scattered all over the 8 acres, in pieces. The trampoline ended up in a neighbors tree. He lives west of Hazel Dell about 15 miles. |

WOW...glad everyone is okay...are his horses alright? the horses finally touched down in Venersborg, but they were fine eating farmer John's front lawn, hahaha. :shock: But yes, the horses happened to be in another part of the pasture and were unfazed by the whole thing. His brand new lawn furniture, trampoline, barbeque and shed however didn't fare quite as well. The dog was in the kennel in the barn, the kennel got stuck to the ATV which prevented the kennel from flying out into the back 40. The ATV did move about 20 feet down the shed row in the barn with the kennel attached to it but didn't take flight, luckily for the dog. I'd bet the dog is a little leery about going back into the kennel from now on.  |
