Yes thats right. October 12th, 1962...The Columbus Day Storm. This is the measuring stick that all of the pacific storms are judged by. The storm is one of the most powerful to ever strike the United States. Millions of board feet of timber were destroyed and tons of weather stations were taken off line as they were either blown away or hit by debris. I wasn't around in '62, but after watching old news footage, I'm glad I wasn't here to see it in person, I just hope I get to see a storm close to that soon.
Here is a video of the Dec. 12th 2006 storm that brought high winds to the coast and the valley !
