A light pole toppled in Pinehurst as extreme winds ripped through the region on Wednesday.
Wednesday morning's windstorm killed a Fernan Village man and caused mass power outages across North Idaho and Eastern Washington.
“It's a very unfortunate incident related to the wind," Kootenai County Undersheriff Brett Nelson said. "Simply put, a tree fell and entered a residence and came to rest upon a male who was asleep, which ultimately led to his death.”
