QUOTES:
"SPOKANE -- A rare tornado touched down here yesterday during a storm that
also brought lightning, hail and heavy rain to northeast Washington.

The tornado touched down in a rural area west of Fairchild Air Force Base
about 4:15 p.m., said John Livingston, a National Weather Service
meteorologist in Spokane.

Lightning may have been to blame for a fire at a Spokane apartment complex,
and a lightning-caused fire burned a hole through the roof of a house. The
storm forced the temporary shutdown of flights leaving nearby Spokane
International Airport. Hail as big as three-quarters of an inch in
diameter was reported, along with flooded roads and basements, as more than
an inch of rain fell in Spokane, Livingston said.

Washington averages just one tornado per year. However, three have been
reported in the past three weeks -- one April 27 near Sumas, in Whatcom
County, another in East Wenatchee Wednesday, and yesterday's near Spokane."
