Gusting Winds Wreak Havoc in Washington State

Aired December 15, 2000 - 9:38 a.m. ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: Snow-covered roads in Washington State are making for some dangerous driving as well. At least one person has been killed there. The snow, wind and rain caused power outages throughout the night. As much as 10 inches of snow was expected in various parts of the state.

DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: More now from Washington State where the winds there were gusting up to 90 miles per hour yesterday.

Reporter Ray Lane (ph) is with our affiliate KIRO in Seattle and has more now on what happened once those winds started to blow.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It traveled -- and you can see from where it came -- 70 feet and just rolled, I don't know, two or three times.

RAY LANE, KIRO REPORTER (voice-over): Bob Howland's (ph) travel trailer got tossed more than 70 feet end-over-end in the Ocean Shores wind storm. And his garage door also got slammed.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It actually blew it off of the hinges.

LANE: And at Ocean Shores Elementary, they are cleaning water up after 80 percent of the gym roof blew clean off.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All the students were in here practicing for a Christmas program. The rumble came, the roof rolled, and it was just like beating on a drum and the rough pounding.

LANE: And down the block, a tree came crashing down on this home, coming right through the bedroom roof.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You thought it was a tornado. You know, you hear about things called wind shear, I guess. And it just came on so hard and so fast.

LANE: And as they look at the mess left behind, the storm's victims still can't believe it.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It was just unbelievable. You know, like said, I've lived here eight years, I've lived other places and I've never seen anything like this.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

KAGAN: And those picture, that story from Ray Lane from KIRO. They call it "KIRO" out there, that's why I was stumbling a little bit. KIRO in Seattle.
