What a blustery weekend with rain, showers, thunder and breezes. Today is expected to be really wet, with maybe an inch of rain in Vancouver and 2 or 3 inches in the hills. This is April?
An atmospheric river of moisture is bringing the heavy rain, and the National Weather Service was expecting some small streams to flood their banks with perhaps some urban street flooding if the heavy rain persists over an area. Be careful driving around today.
Stay tuned. April weather has a large bag of foolish tricks to play upon us.
Friday was the 47th anniversary of the F3 tornado that struck Vancouver in 1972 and killed six people. I remember it well. I was driving south over the I-5 Bridge at 12:45 p.m. in a heavy rain. Upriver, it was dark as night. Little did I know a deadly tornado was moving across the river into Vancouver.
