Strong southwesterly spread from the top of Mission Ridge to the northeast down Number One Canyon, Number Two Canyon, Pitcher Canyon and the Stemilt Canyon into the Wenatchee Valley.  High wind also impacted the Waterville Plateau.  Strong winds first appeared atop Mission Ridge, where a wind sensor at elevation 6740 feet measured sustained winds of 50-60 mph with a top gust to 103 mph at noon.  (For more information on how the winds affected the mountains, see the Winter Storm entry for the Northern Cascade East Slopes.)  From there, the wind came down the canyon southwest of the Wenatchee Valley and eventually brought a top wind gust of 53 mph to the Wenatchee Airport (Pangborn Field) at 135 PM.  Atop the Waterville Plateau, the Douglas RAWS site measured a top wind gust to 76 mph around 200 PM.  A private homeowner in Wenatchee Heights measured an unofficial wind gust of 112 mph.The high winds knocked over trees, blew down fences, and caused sporadic power outages.  In Wenatchee, a 60-foot tall fir tree toppled over and landed on a house on North Elliott Avenue, causing $15,000 damage.  One tree fell onto a power line on Crawford Street, knocking out power to about 700 homes from Appleyard in south Wenatchee to Stevens Street.  High winds were also responsible for several thousand customers losing power along US Highway 97A from north of Wenatchee to the Stayman Flats area, including Entiat, the Entiat Valley and the Knapp Hill Tunnel.  Other trees blew onto power lines on Atwood and Princton Streets near Wenatchee, and on Wapato Way in Manson.  Wenatchee police shut down the intersection of Hawthorne and Yakima Streets for two hours when a pole with utility lines and a street light blew down.  Other fallen trees had near-misses with an apartment on Fifth Street and a house on Gale Street.

Three divers (Mark Facklan, Todd Bunnenborg and Sherry Kingston) started scuba diving about 0930, then surfaced about an hour later and had trouble returning to shore. They had wandered past the reef near Oka  Point in Tamuning. The female stayed out while the two men tried to make it back to shore. Fraklan was able to swim back to the beach in front of the Hilton Guam Resort and Spa, where he called for help. The other two divers were rescued around 1430. They were lucky to make it back in good condition because the currents out there are usually very strong said Guam Fire Department's Northern District Capt. Alexander Castro. Bunnenborg and Kinston are Air Force personnel. Julian Flores, 41, and Peter Salas, 46, were returning to Hagatna Boat Basin after a day of fishing when they spotted Kingston about 40 feet away from them waving her hands. "She was in black so she was hard to see, but we saw here hands waving at us so we headed to pick her up" Salas said." She was a little cut up and tired because she said she had been out there for about five hours". The two men had to lift Kingston out of the water because she no longer had the strength the do so.  She was a good half mile past the reef. Facklan and Bunnenborg sustained some cuts and abrasions because they tried to swim back across the reef.
