Fallen trees and power outages were the most prominent issues caused by Friday's fierce thunderstorm, according to local officials.

The Kootenai County Sheriff's Department responded to a couple trees blown down on Benewah Road outside Harrison on Friday afternoon, said Maj. Ben Wolfinger.

"There were little damages or problems (otherwise)," he said of the storm that left over 1,000 without power on Friday. "Which is really good. We'd rather have it that way."

Although several outages occurred throughout Kootenai County, Avista reported restoring power by late Friday afternoon to all its customers, including over 1,300 affected in Post Falls and Rathdrum, as well as 240 in Hayden and lower Pend Oreille.

Kootenai Electric reported that roughly 375 of its customers were affected by outages on Friday, with all power restored by early evening.

North Idaho shouldn't see that again for awhile, assured Climatologist Cliff Harris.

Harris forecasted a slight chance of thunderstorms tonight and Monday, but no more than a "little thing," he said.

Then there shouldn't be precipitation for at least 10 more days, he said.

"It will be warming up toward 90 degrees by the end of the week," Harris said.

Just in case, Wolfinger reminded that during a heavy thunderstorm, the most important steps are to get off bodies of water and seek shelter in a building.

"The winds get hazardous and the waves come up real quick," he said. "That's the base concern."
