About 1pm on Friday, March 11th, a Ferndale Police officer pulled over a vehicle in the area of the “Y” at Enterprise Road and Portal Way. According to the officer’s radio conversation with What-Comm dispatch, soon after being pulled over two individuals attempted to elude him by leaving their vehicle and running into the Ferndale Mobile Home Park (previously known as Dunkin’s).

Apologies

Discover Ferndale was not able to provide the coverage it should have for hours during today’s windstorm due to unforeseen technical difficulties that occurred while boosting server capacity to handle a sudden and record number of website visitors.

The month’s third windstorm is forecast for today

Update 3pm: New details here as storm front gets closer.

UPDATE 9am: According to the NWS, the storm is moving along its path faster than expected. As a result winds are expected to pickup a couple hours earlier than initially predicted and the high wind warning has been moved from beginning at 2pm to noon.
