Storm doesn't exist
Friday night around 6:30, a huge wind came through this part of town, along with a moderate amount of rain and hail. Judging by tree motion, stuff skittering down the street, and the noises made by my house, I'd say it was near 60 MPH. This radar from Wunderground.com shows the precisely focused wind as a sharp yellow stripe in the middle:
But because the storm happened in Terra Incognita (the
"uninhabitable" North Side of Spokane), it didn't make the news and didn't get onto any of the official records.
How did we reach the point where we ignore weather in cities? Nobody lives at airports, but only airports have weather.
