What the National Weather Service wrote

Local businesses located north of Eureka reported damage to outside equipment due to the wind and hail. Several 4 inch trees broke in half laying down pointing east-northeast. Two fir trees with a base diameter of 16 inches were lost: one fell over while the other broke in half. The wind ripped tin siding off of the buildings.

The wider storm

A mid-level southwest 50 knot jet maximum combined with high moisture and very warm temperatures provided the prime environment for strong supercells. These cells brought both severe wind and hail.

Began near Roosville (48.9620, -115.0570).
