Funnel Cloud — Lincoln, Washington

2009-05-06 · near Irby, Lincoln, Washington

Wider weather episode

A strong thunderstorm with rotation first spawned a funnel cloud and then a tornado, which briefly touched down just northeast of Davenport. The funnel cloud was spotted 16 miles northwest of Odessa, followed by a weak tornado eight miles north-northeast of Davenport. The EF1 tornado damaged two structures. By the time the storm reached north Spokane County, the rotation had weakened and was not as evident. However, a localized area of strong downburst winds impacted an area located five miles west of Chattaroy where a portion of a metal roof was blown off an out-building near the intersection of Monroe and Crosscut roads.
