TACOMA — A strong thunderstorm dumped copious amounts of rain in the South Sound, leading to some urban flooding in Tacoma, Washington. Heavy downpours also drenched Portland, Oregon. KOMO-TV reports that a man got stranded in flood waters with his jeep in Tacoma. A good Samaritan pulled the stranded man’s car out with rope. First responders said they got half a dozen calls for localized flooding and minor home damage in Tacoma’s West End. Crews finally drained the flood water under the bridge to avoid other close calls. A rain gauge at the nearby Tacoma Narrows Airport showed 0.63 inches of rain fell in an hour. In Des Moines, a lightning strike knocked out power at the Pacific Highway and Kent Des Moines Road traffic light for several hours.
