Pastor Shane lives right by the
Colville City Park and captured these photo images last Thursday evening. I was there Friday and city workers were still cleaning up from the damage.

This park is well-known for the clusters of evergreen trees that tower over the picnic areas, pool, and amphitheater. Here is a glimpse of how it looked after Windstorm 2008.





It is hard to imagine wind strong enough to uproot trees with roots like these. This car was parked at a house next to the park. Thankfully people moved quickly out of the park and no injuries were reported.
