Monday’s storm over the Columbia Basin produced plenty of lightning and heavy rain. Hermiston recorded 0.51″, the Southridge area of Kennewick had 0.58″, and I even received a report from Beck Road south of Kennewick where a grower had 0.84″! On top of this, flooding in Connell prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Flood Advisory for that area.
I am thankful for all the pictures sent to me! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to include all of them because of technology limitations, but I hope you enjoy the gallery!
