No, this was the year before, but I know of when you speak. The EBS warning came on in the middle of a kick ass storm, and they warned anyone near north Spokane/Stevens county to head to their basements. There were sightings of funnel clouds near our house, but they didn't cause any damage. I can't imagine being out on Priest lake during that- it was a wild storm!

There was a line of boats at the ramp when the worse hit. When my turn came instead of lining the boat up carefully with the trailer and then using the trailer rope to pull the boat up I just gunned the engine and drove the boat right up onto the trailer...scuffed up my boat a little but I am sure those behind me appreciated my haste.
