This photo was taken the next day after I big wind storm on Thurs. evening at
about the same time it started.
We lost our power Thurs. evening at 7:00 and it was finally restored Sat. morning at
1:00 am. We had a wind gust of 58 miles at our house. Mt Hebo reported a wind gust
of 144 miles. The storm started at 4:00 pm and went on most of the night. Astoria
to Newport was without power. All of the roads leading to the coast were closed
because of fallen trees. ODOT had to pull there crew off Highway 6 because it was
just too dangerous. We lost two trees and a lilac bush. We have a small generator so
we were able to have some heat and lights. We were also able to keep our
refrigerator running and had a microwave to heat up soup. We still don't have
phone and my cellular phone service is down. We just got the internet back.
The good news is they got the levee repaired in time so Highway 101 N didn't flood
this time.
