Thunderstorm brings flash floods, damaged cherry crops.
Manhole covers popped off, streets flooded and there were reports of vehicles being trapped in high waters as a major thunderstorm roared into Wenatchee this afternoon.
Number 2 Canyon Road is closed, blocked by a mudslide.
The brunt of the storm hit about 1:30, bringing torrential rains, hail and thunder and lightning.
I feel sorry for cherry growers. Rain make cherries swell and split, making them un-sellable. Strong winds already damaged Wenatchee cherries last week.

Cherries are a volatile market and for this reason they hardly ever go on sale.

This weather is crazy. Sucks when the crops are affected so adversely.

So sorry to hear about the cherry crop. NY farmers are pricking up their ears.

while they're having a heat wave in europe our temps on the left coast are well below normal.
low 60s from van isle as far south as mid CA.
the heat wave will probably be blamed on global warming & no notice will be taken of our below normal temps.

The low temps are a product of the global warming process as well.
@evidentialist ,
uh huh, you ppl have got it covered both ways.
@callmedubious -- What does 'you people' mean?
@evidentialist ,
you ppl means (to me) ppl who have 100% bought into the global warming scare mongering & would never even consider any merit in contrary opinions/papers from 100s of scientists & even nobel laureates.
@callmedubious -- Patrick Moore as an example?
@evidentialist ,
don't know him.
tell you what.. just consider me a skeptic & leave it at that.
@callmedubious -- As you wish.
