Wow, that is severe damage! Thanks for the news and photos. Would not have expected that, especially from what was advertised as only a moderate windstorm by Northwest standards. Guess you can never tell when trees will topple in rain-soaked soil.



Just for future reference, here's the NWAC telemetry showing the winds at the Pass, with max gusts of 70+ mph early AM Sunday (wind site is atop Summit West, about 3 miles NNW of Hyak):
