Luckily, Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Stoesz, the lookouts, had gone to lower ground and thus were out of the building when the bolt hit.
The lightning scorched the inside of the building, burned out the radio, blew the telephone box off the wall, melted the radio antennae and took out a half mile of telephone line near the station. No fire resulted. No lightning fires in the forests near by were started, according to reports. Forestry officials reported snow today at several of the higher mountainous areas, including Sunset peak, Frost Point near Kingston and Kellogg peak." (Spokane Daily Chronicle)
