Rolling thunder

Ominous clouds roll over the West Terrace/Fairways housing area on Saturday evening. A rapidly moving system caused heavy amounts of rain and large-size hail across the region, leading to over 2,000 Avista Utility customers to lose power for a time. Some Inland Power and Light residents were also without power, but Cheney residents essentially escaped with their lights staying on, according to Light Director Steve Marxx.
