Storm Blasts Thru Bayview

Bayview resident Jessica Haddon took a video from inside a vehicle parked at the Bayview fire station during the height of the 2 ^nd storm front tonight with dime size hail pounding the windshield.  (Herb provides the video here and his account of the storm here .) Just before that, the Timberlake Fire Protection District responded to an oily sheen next to the public boat launch in Bayview at Boileous Dock. The sheen was about 150 feet long and 20 feet wide with a strong odor of gasoline. Timberlake personnel contained the spill with adsorbent pads and boom. The EPA and Idaho Department of Environmental Quality will be monitoring the spill and clean up.  We believe the sheen was created by a combination of the first storm washing road and parking lot sediment into the lake and the winds out of the east creating a surface lake current that pushed the liquids against the dock.

• Bayview Bob reports on Bay Views that his weather station measured 2.93 inches of rain from last night’s storm.

Question: What do you make of this mid-August stormy weather?
