Did you see this? Weird that they didn't mention this on the weather. Anyway, it probably won't happen, but if you are planning a fishing trip, best that you know there is a chance!

...STRONG DAMAGING WINDS POSSIBLE AT THE COAST AND COAST RANGE
SUNDAY AND MONDAY..

SEVERAL COMPUTER MODEL RUNS HAVE SHOWN A WEATHER PATTERN EVOLVING
SUNDAY AND MONDAY THAT COULD BRING STRONG DAMAGING WINDS TO THE
COAST AND COAST RANGE. IF THE PATTERN EVOLVED AS DEPICTED THERE
COULD BE GUSTS IN THE 80 TO 90 MPH RANGE ALONG THE COAST AND
75 TO 80 MPH GUSTS OVER THE COAST RANGES. THE PATTERN COULD ALSO
DEVELOP IN AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MANNER WITH MUCH LESS WIND. STAY
ALERT TO LATER STATEMENTS OR BULLETINS CONCERNING THIS POTENTIAL
STORM.

[CATCH AND EAT]

Wow. My stupid neighbors at the coast still have not cleaned up their mess from last time two weeks ago when Ocean Park had 90 MPH gusts. One of their trees missed my house by two inches. I called these folks and left a nice message for them about their mess. Hope they get it cleaned up soon. I cleaned up two of their trees that fell on or near my house last year. Not doing it again this year.

So Bernie what are your plans for your new tree - I think it became yours when it crossed the property line

Only about 10 feet is mine. Think I'll lop it off and decorate it.

Tie it down to the bow of you GB and enter the Christmas Ships Fleet - lights up the out riggers, setup you tuna spread, drag a string of LED lights in you favorite colors and chug through the harbor at 7kts

[Jennie@ifish]

I love the way they say, "There might be a storm, but then again, there might not be."

[StickFish]

I hear ya Jennie - I'm convinced that know body can predict the weather in the PNW with much accuracy past 1/2 a day - too many variables. When I started school in Forest Grove the University said this about Oregon weather. "If you cannot see Mt. Hood, it is raining, if you can it isn't raining, but it will soon."

[Troutinator]

I just heard one of the weather wonks say... and I kid you not...

"just rain this afternoon, unless it snows"

huh?

[ampersat]

I've decided to become a weather forecaster. My plan: forecast that every day it's going to rain.

If I'm right, people are satisfied that I'm right. If instead the sun comes out, everyone's happy that it didn't rain. If it snows, most folks are delighted that it has snowed. If anything except rain happens, pretty much everyone is happy.

I don't see a problem with this plan. I'm headed out to buy a large selection of ties now so I look good in front of the "green wall".

'Sounds like a great idea to me! Where else can you be paid so much for being wrong so much of the time? Don

That is why the media isn't hyping it....yet. One thing at a time, right now it's "Its going to snow" that is above 1000ft. Most folks in this area live below 1000ft, but the hype is on. Its early in the season.
This time of the year forecasting is :lurk:time.

KGW was forecasting strong winds for Monday. That was a 5AM.

That last storm broke off about 1/2 of my Asian Pear trees. I cut it up leaving a nice neat pile of firewood at the base of the tree but hauled all the limbs down by the rivers so that the next high water would wash them into position to be fish habitat. A couple of mornings later the whole pile was gone! After some investigation which revealed drag marks to the river, The missing pile of limbs appeared some 200 yards downstream at the site where our resident old beaver had been stacking his fresh cut willows all spring and summer. Thanks for the help old beaver!

those forcast are a bunch of BS coming from the same people who are telling us that humans are the cause of global warming. Computer models.... ah fooey

I thought it was because of oceananic CO2 levels that will not be reversable for the next 10,000 years. Now I am really confused.

Let me settle this for ya Cooky. It's not Al's Fault. It's not Bush's fault. It's Chuck Norris fault. He's in Shanghai and broke wind. Takes awhile for the results to hit home.

[Ethical hunter]

I just got done fixing my roof from the last time - I hope my repairs hold.

Special Weather Bulletin.

It has been snowing at 1100' in Vernonia since 1:30pm.

Someone, please tell the NWS that this isn't rain. While you're on the phone, tell the sanding trucks to saddle up. Folks are at a standstill on Hwy 47 right now.

Gee Bill, did the earth shift upward? Last time I checked Vernonia was only around 625'. Yep the roads are a little nasty out there though! Is your house 1100', didn't think it would be that high. Had about 4" on Clatskanie Mt. at 7pm.

[Smoked Salmon]

Yeah, as long as I share a zipcode with you I'll claim Vernonia as my home port. Actual elevation on my place is from 1000 to 1100, depending on where you stand. I could count tree tops too and then run it up to 1250 feet. Heck, that is twice as far as Vernonia above sea level.

[Jennie@ifish]

This is what I'm worried about:

Damaging windstorm poised to strike after snow day on Saturday

According to KATU Meteorologist Rod Hill, what could potentially be the biggest windstorm in years will be aimed in our direction on Sunday and what is so worrisome is that it could last for as long as 30 hours, right into Monday. Read more »

I'm actually pretty worried about this storm.

I do hope they are wrong. It's beginning to sound like the Columbus Day storm on steroids.

Oh good. I don't leave for work until 6:15, so I should be fine.

[JustCallMeDave]

I'm keeping an eye on the updates from the National Weather Service, as they update throughout the day. Hundred mile winds for a day aren't what I call "fun".

[Salmo Gairdnerii]

This is not good since I am supposed to be in Newport Sunday afternoon for my son's birthday. Let's hope the forecasters are wrong on this one. A little snow on Saturday would be nice, but I hope the wind doesn't show up. SG

I hear ya. My neighbors over there still have not cleaned up the mess from the storm 3 weeks ago. Trees are still laying over my yard and their caport and house. Missed my house by two inches.

[Pete]

This storm forecast is looking pretty certain at this point. Judging by the ocean forecast, I guess I won't be crabbing soon

COMBINED SEAS 38 FT. at 9 seconds!

[fishkisser]

All you Guys stay safe up there ... I'll be getting the fringes of this one it looks like ... Rain and winds 30-40 mph gusts to 60 for Humboldt Co. Ca. Barney

[Lepper]

I don' tknow about not happening, but down here on the south coast at 10:36. The wind is starting to blow and picking up speed.

dave

[JustCallMeDave]

Wind has actually died down a bit up here. Had gusts around 40 earlier with hail, but not much now. I gotta feeling that it's not far away now.

hitting here in Bandon in all it's wonder and fury.. and they say the worst is still to come... i'll give my special updates as long as the power/net lives on!!

[Jennie@ifish]

It's pretty scary here, right now. I'm upstairs on my laptop, but when the power goes out for good, so do I. (Charter cable.router/modem) everything that needs power...

Agh... I gotta find a good book while the lights are on!

Woot, power back on for a bit anyway..

Still a howling.. I hear the shingles slapping the roof, so when this is over i'm sure it's time for a new roof


Insurance FTW!!
dave

[Lepper]

It's NASTY out there.

Woke up at 5 a.m. by breaking glass. The wind break for the house has been ripped off the house. So many shingles around the area I can't begin to count and we get another day of this? This is horrible, it's going to take me (and everyone else) weeks to recover from this one. Get reay insurance company, my claim begins at 10 a.m.

[jvp]

gusts over 100 in lincoln city and bay city. stay safe stay in if possible.
