Pretty much all the "tornadoes" that we get in the PNW are mild F1
types that don't last long, and are usually association with small
convective cells. Other than blower around garbage cans and knocking
down old fences, they don't do a lot of damage.

This one was the exception. It tore up trees, destroyed roofs, picked
up cars, etc. Probably the strongest tornado that Washington has had in
centuries.
