Wonder if that was a microburst?
Pretty good windstorm last night. I slept through the whole thing for once. Why? Because wind came from an unusual direction.
99% of big winds around Spokane are from WSW, and this neighborhood is wide open to WSW winds. Last night's storm was from ENE, and this neighborhood is behind a hill from that direction.
Avista's outage map shows who was not protected, and it's a highly unusual pattern:
The north-facing side of the rich South Hill got intensely whacked. So intense that I wonder if they had something quasi-tornadic in that spot.
