COUNTY INTO SKAMANIA COUNTY AND
THE RURAL SECTIONS OF THE
GORGE.
GORGE.
GORGE. DOWNTOWN PORTLAND DOESN'T HAVE
MUCH GOING ON, BUT IT'S RAINING
HARD WEST OF CASCADE.
IF YOU'RE DRIVING IN THE GORGE
THE NEXT HOUR OR, SO YOU MAY
YET GET A DOWNPOUR.
THERE'S NOT MUCH UPSTREAM UNTIL
YOU GET TO THE COAST, SOME
HEAVY SHOWERS DOWN AROUND
NEWPORT, BUT I DON'T EXPECT
THAT TO TRANSLATE AND MOVE AS
IT IS ACROSS THE VALLEY.
I THINK WE'RE DONE WITH THE
HEAVY DOWNPOURS HERE IN
PORTLAND, BUT CHECK THIS ONE
OUT.

HAVE BEEN REALLY INTENSE, BUT
THEY ARE MOVING OFF.
IF NOT DIMINISHED, THEY MAY BE
ENDING AND THEN TOMORROW THEY
PICK BACK UP WITH THUNDERSTORMS

WARM WEATHER RETURNS ON

CLEANING UP TONIGHT FROM DAMAGE
FROM A TORNADO YESTERDAY.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
VISITED PLUMPER PUMPKIN PATCH
TODAY, CONFIRMED THE DAMAGE IS
CONSISTENT WITH AN EF0 TORNADO.
IT TOUCHED DOWN BRIEFLY AT THE
PATCH OFF OLD CORNELIUS PASS
ROAD IN NORTHWEST PORTLAND.
IT WAS ENOUGH TO TEAR OFF MORE
THAN A DOZEN SOLAR PANELS,
DESTROY A TENT AND FLATTEN PART
OF THE FARM'S CORN MAZE.
THAT DAMAGE WAS THE STRONGEST
INDICATOR OF A TORNADO.
CORN STALKS WERE SMASHED IN
OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS SHOWING A
CIRCULAR PATH OF DESTRUCTION.

CORN MAZE WILL HAVE TO BE CUT
DOWN IN SIZE A BIT FOR THIS
