A threatening storm In the Heppner area Monday fizzled. Dark clouds failed to bring the portended lightning. Only a few drops of rain fell here, but other sections felt the brunt of the storm. , Boardman was hit with winds of near-cyclone force, reported elsewhere in this paper, and lightning strikes set range fires. A waterspout hit the Burl Wattenberger place on Butter Creek just below Pine City. A bridge was washed out and a large quantity of hay was lost. Considerable fence damage was done. The family had been planning to take a vacation but may nave to alter its plans be cause of the spout. In some parts of the Umatilla National Forest lightning kept crews on the go, but on the Heppner district, only two small fires were reported through the storm period. Neither proved to be of any great consequence and both were quickly extinguished by crews of the Forest Service. The run of 90-degree weather started on Saturday, August 3, and continued through Monday of this week. During that time tour days had maximum temper atures of 91, two of 90, two of 9d, one of 92, and the hottest on the final day Monday when the storm came to the north and east and cooled things off.
