The October 2, 1967 West Oregon Windstorm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | For the Willamette Valley, the October 2, 1967 windstorm was probably the third most powerful event to strike during the 1950-to-present era--just barely behind the March 27, 1963 storm that followed a similar path, and, of course, largely behind the Columbus Day Storm. |
 | | The October 2, 1967 windstorm brought with it a significant "pressure couplet" over much of Western Oregon, with strong pressure surges (+3.0 mb and higher) at stations that fell within about 200 miles of the storm's center. |
 | | Later on October 3rd, as the clouds broke and allowed the sun's rays to warm the ground, temperatures climbed to 62° F and thunderheads appeared at all quadrants from about 10:00 to 18:00. |
