Batten down the hatches and get ready for what could be the worst wind storm since the Columbus day storm from the 60's! With the ground already saturated from the past storms we could have trees down all over the city and be without power for a few days. Maybe we will get lucky but its not looking real good. KGW's website says this!
One of the most significant NW wind storms in recent history is expected.
