Morning, SC.
How is your weather this morning?
Saw videos of the tornadoes that hit the Oregon coast yesterday.
Very scary!
Thank goodness no one was harmed but a lot of property damage was done.
Hi LG,
Still dark here, so can’t see the trees, but don’t hear the wind blowing like it was yesterday (weather says 7 mph now). I didn’t lose any electricity yesterday like Publius did (he’s north of Seattle and I’m east). It’s supposed to kick back up later this afternoon. From latest alert:
...HIGH WIND WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE PUGET SOUND REGION FROM 3 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 2 AM PDT SUNDAY...
* WIND...INCREASING FROM THE SOUTH AT 20 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS LOCALLY NEAR 60 MPH LATE THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE SUBSIDING LATER THIS EVENING.
* SOME AFFECTED LOCATIONS...SEATTLE...EVERETT...TACOMA...
BREMERTON...BRINNON...WOODINVILLE...BELLEVUE...AND SUMNER.
* TIMING...THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR BETWEEN 4 PM AND 9 PM PDT.
The wind and rain are blowing hard today here in Oregon.
My Aunt’s beach house in Manzanita was quite damaged. They have been unable to get there. The neighbors say the chimney has been ripped out and most the windows blown out. Every tree is down, one completely demolished their garage.
The house is less than a block from the beach and every year our family on my dad’s side has a reunion in Manzanita. This year we did not have it because of the death of my Uncle who owns the house.
Manzanita is the most quaint beach town you can imagine with beautiful picturesque ocean views.
Oregon just doesn’t get tornados. Extremely rare.
