Monster Storm to Hit the Pacific Northwest Coast tomorrow! 36 foot waves 100 mph winds & Flooding



The left over remnant of Typhoon Songda is set to strike the Pacific Northwest USA Coast tomorrow bringing 36 foot waves, 100 Mile Per Hour Winds and over 22 inches of rainfall. Tornadoes are already underway. This is a big scary storm. God Bless everyone, T @newTHOR on twitter http://bit.ly/1FL7e16 http://wxch.nl/2e6m5fD An EF2 tornado was confirmed in Manzanita, Oregon, by the National Weather Service in Portland. A second tornado spun up in Oceanside. Several buildings were damaged, along with power poles, trees and street signs. More than 6,000 customers around Oregon were without power as storms continue to hit the region. A rare occurrence shook the West Coast Friday, when two confirmed tornadoes tore through Tillamook County, Oregon. One of the twisters tore through the town of Manzanita, Oregon, in the morning, leaving damage in its wake. A second tornado was spotted in Oceanside. The National Weather Service in Portland later rated the former twister an EF2. Social media photos and videos show a funnel cloud that started over the Pacific and then came ashore into Manzanita. Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long confirmed to KEZI that two blocks of the city were hit, but that no injuries have been reported as of yet. Mayor Gary Bullard issued a state of emergency, the Tillamook Headlight Herald reported. "It was a normal beach storm, which we get a lot of, and then out of nowhere the wind went 'whoooo," business owner Debbie Harmon told the Associated Press. "Suddenly the whole sky was filled with debris. It was just crazy. And then it just stopped." The storm damaged several buildings in town and took down trees, power lines around the city, the Tillamook Pioneer Press reported on Facebook. The Tillamook County Emergency Management Agency called the damage "severe and heavy," the Oregonian reports. “They're setting up a command center at the old Manzanita Fire Station in downtown Manzanita," the post read. "Red Cross is en route. ... There's a power pole arcing along Highway 101 in Wheeler, too. Best not to be out driving in the Nehalem Bay area right now.” The paper also reported that one woman was trapped in her house due to downed trees blocking the entrance. The funnel is only the second tornado to hit the state this year, said weather.com senior meteorologist Jonathan Erdman, the only other touching down on June 8 in Wheeler County. Prior to today, there had been only 4 tornadoes on record since 1950 in Tillamook County, Erdman said. The last occurred on Sep. 18, 1997. ong told AP that two businesses were destroyed and one home is uninhabitable after the storm. Other homes sustained roof damage. A Red Cross shelter was opened for those affected. In Oceanside, a second tornado was confirmed about 40 minutes later, KVAL.com reports. There were no damages or injuries reported. The Oregon Department of Transportation said small landslides and high water shut down lanes and coastal routes Thursday and Friday, according to OregonLive.com. Elsewhere in the state, thousands are without power as a series of strong storms continues to batter the region. According to the Associated Press, Portland General Electric reported that more than 4,000 customers were without power at 5 a.m. Friday. Pacific Power reported that 2,800 customers in coastal communities had no lights, down from a peak of more than 15,000. A father and his four-year-old son were injured in Seattle when a tree branch fell on top of them Friday, according to the National Weather Service. The father sustained minor injuries and the son sustained serious injuries. Puget Sound Energy responded to scattered outages that affected thousands Friday in Washington. Torrential rains, lashing winds with hurricane-force gusts along the coast and the potential for massive power outages are all headed toward the Pacific Northwest over the next few days with meteorologists saying the deluge headed our direction could be of "historic" proportions. The looming succession of storms was concerning enough for Cliff Mass, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington, to draw parallels between what we are facing over the next few days and the infamous 1962 Columbus Day Storm. "The Columbus Day Storm had its origin as Typhoon Frieda, taking over a week to get across the Pacific," Mass wrote on his popular weather blog. "Our Saturday storm started as Typhoon Songda, which is now moving towards us as it transforms into an extratropical (midlatitude) storm. Both of these storms retained some of their tropical "juice" with lots of moisture and tight, strong low pressure centers."
