Where the strong winds blow

Liz Marcolin, of 23582 Granger Avenue NE, stands by a large tree that fell on the family van during Sunday night’s wind storm. The Marconlins had just returned from a trip to Pullman when the storm hit. One limb went through a window, but because of the debris field, the couple couldn’t tell how much damage their vehicle suffered. The couple, Felix and Liz, planted the spruce tree about 40 years ago, just four years after they moved into their home in Grand Coulee. — Roger S. Lucas photo
