High Wind in Lewiston Area, Idaho

The mesonet station 2 miles north northeast of Reubens, Idaho reported a wind gust of 58 mph.

An intense surface low pressure system moved from west to east along the Southern British Columbia border and dragged a cold front through as well. The resulting high winds brought about substantial damage across North Idaho....and resulted in widespread power outages and is noted as the most damage seen by Avista utilities from a natural disaster in its 126-year history with an estimated 180,000 Avista utilities customers without power at peak after the windstorm. One indirect fatality from the storm was reported in North Idaho. A state disaster declaration prepared for the four Idaho counties of Benewah, Bonner, Boundary and Kootenai included an initial damage estimate of $2.6 million.
