 April 23, 1943 Windstorm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Many windstorms produce 0.70" to 1.00" (23 to 30 mb) drops, so the April 23, 1943 windstorm was a bit short, but not by much.
The +6.1 mb (+0.18") hourly surge at Tatoosh Island is among the highest for that particular station, though it is shy of the December 21, 1940 windstorm, which produced a +8.5 mb (+0.25") surge.
Due to missing stations, and lots of extrapolated gusts, it's a bit of a stretch to compare the average values of this storm to those of later storms where the eleven stations and peak gusts are available.
