Amazon 7 #34 August 13, 2004 Uh Acme dear.. I keep a boat at the mouth of the Columbia River... EVERY YEAR we have at least 4 or 5 "storms" that roll in off the NOT SO PACIFIC Ocean in NOV-Jan.. with winds in excess of 100 MPH.. but we dont call em hurricanes even though I have seen( and been staying on my boat at Newport Oregon when the mast on my sloop was banging on the mast of the boat next to mine.. ( 105 MPH winds) well into Catagory 2. http://www.kilty.com/pdfs/storm.pdf From time to time winds above 75 mph hit the Pacific Coast, especially the Northwest Coast. While these are "hurricane force" winds, they are not from hurricanes, but from strong extratropical storms. One famous case was the Columbus Day Storm of 1962 that hit northern California, Oregon and Washington. It caused more than 50 deaths and had winds as high as 119 mph in Portland. When it hit the West Coast, this storm was extratropical, but began as Typhoon Frieda nine days earlier near Wake Island in the western Pacific. http://www.usatoday.com/weather/whpacg.htm AND remember that little Nisqualy EQ http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/59909_quake27.shtml Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had just gotten done with eye surgery literally minutes before it hit, and I was so strung out from the pain killers and Valium that I thought we were standing near a train...~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
