Lovely storm

[Finneus Polebender]

Well the little storm we just had knocked over a cedar tree in my front yard and smashed the neighbors car in their driveway. Just got back from that clean up ,much other damage in the springfield area . Out here at the farm just down the road there is a 75 ft tree down root ball sticking up about ten ft . KMTR 16 Was at our neighbors in town filming will probably see all my boys and the some friends hacking the thing up with chain saws on the news tonight.

I saw on the evening news, that there's about 100,000 peeps w/ out power in the Portland area. It wasn't bad in Corvallis at all.

 

[Finneus Polebender]

They were on the news and we were far from the only ones hit here lots of damage locally

I haven't had power since 3:30... no clue if there is any damage around other then hearing firetucks and **** earlier..

We were caught in it while driving Cottage Grove Lorane road, man that was a spooky trip with all the trees swaying.

The funny thing is, right before we left the house I was just telling my wife what a beautiful warm day it was.:shock:

Here on the mountain we got bunch of rain & thunder fer about half hour, then it was past us.

Sorry about your damage Bro.

It was bad in the Roseburg area! We lost power for about 3 hrs, I have never seen the wind blow as hard as it did at my house! I Actually got the camcorder out and started filming! Lot's of thunder and lightening! :shock:

We came home to flashing clocks, my In-Laws are still without power, their just a 1/4 mile up the road.

it was a powerful rain in lyons, but we never lost power. its always a dangerous scenario when the ground is so saturated and we get heavy winds. stay safe!!

We got caught in it on the Columbia in a 12 foot boat. That was super awesome. All kindsa crap on the interstate on the drive home and a tree came down in my backyard, but no damage.

Lightning-Rogue will not cooperate so went out 2 the Applegate round 1 P.M. thinkin I'd just get a little wet.Been killing me not able 2 fish the Rogue-hav a bunch yarnies tied up n a new bottle of Paut. nectar 2 try. .Noticed with the nectar-didn't matter wat color I used-made em all appear pinkish.Anyway...wind came up,rain turned 2 hail-started lightning-thunder..had 2 hunker down under some willows best I could.Got really cold really fast n wet. Jumped

 

[Snapper Slapper]

continued
outa my skin once the sound was so loud.When the lightning n thunder stopped-went back 2 fishing.Logs n branches were now coming downriver.Moss,sticks n leaves were hitting my line now n I did land 1 stickfish.Tried a bait of roe with my yarnie(kudos 2 S.S. video-double egg loop knot).Didn't get no takes today-but darn it-I got 2 go steelheading! I'm sure the barometer wasn't in my favor and I wondered how the fish were reacting 2 all the extra light and noise topside..It was quite a storm but I sure love r state,u never know...

It rained a little hard for a few here in Canby but I had now idea it was that bad everywhere else.

Thats true but most the time its a fog bubble. I dont know how many times I have driven just a mile out of town to find a nice sunny.

For a moment I thought I was back in October 1962. A few trees came down out this way. One came across hwy 26 by shorty's Corner. That cause a traffic mess. The power went off but that worked out ok with the wood stove going. Put some sweet potatoes in a dutch oven on the stove to go along with the leg of lamb and caesar salad. It was nice dinner by candle light. The power came back on after I got the generator fired up. Tomorrow the clean up begins.
