Oregon Coast Tempest Coughs Up Wacky Things on Beaches

(Oregon Coast) – As the majority of the Oregon coast pulls out of the dark and out from beneath the downed branches, this week is back to normal for many, and just another week for many more on the central coast who really didn’t receive much grief from the major tempest.
A huge wind and rain storm hit the Oregon coast last week, with gusts around and over 120 miles per hour in places like Bay City, Lincoln City, Cape Meares and on the southern Washington coast. Power was out on the north coast for five to seven days in some spots, while the central coast didn’t have more than 48 hours worth of outages – most places less.
