[or-roots] typhoon

[CKlooster at aol.com]

I'm a little puzzled by your post...it sounds as though you are describing  
the storm hitting at night.  In the area of S. Oregon where I was living at  
the time (Canyonville on the I-5 corridor) the storm was mid to late  afternoon. 
 It blew through and was gone in fairly short order although it  was somewhat 
windy through the evening and night following. We all stood at  the window 
(not such a bright idea in retrospect) of the English Classroom  in Canyonville 
High School and watched big pieces of metal  roofing cartwheel down the 
street. It seems that we really didn't feel  the brunt of the storm because damage 
in our area was relatively minor...trees  down and power out (but that happens 
every winter); damage to farm buildings,  etc.  The storm seemed to follow the 
S. Umpqua River with damage greater in  that area.  My grandparents lived 
near LaCenter, Washington and their farm  lost a huge old barn that was solid and 
in good repair when it blew down.   So it would seem to me that the storm was 
much stronger as it came along the  Columbia River.
