Powerful punch
Local news Severe thunderstorms pounded the Inland Northwest on Wednesday, toppling trees that crushed homes and cars and cutting power to more than 60,000 homes and businesses. One driver suffered life-threatening injuries in Chattaroy when a tree slammed onto his car, impaling him. Farther north in Riverside, nearly 40 homes at a mobile home park were struck by trees, and about 50 residents were using a shelter set up by the Red Cross at Riverside High School late Wednesday.
