[edit] It's a shame on original research...
A friend of mine whose father lived through it said it was reported that a dead calm came over Waldport, which is in turn near Newport, which is shown as having 131 mph or so, for several minutes before resuming, indicating an eyewall of sorts coming ashore. -- Chr.K. 11:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- That sounds like a good story. If the witness could interest a researcher or reporter in the story (perhaps for an anniversary article or some such) and get it published in a reputable source, then perhaps it could be cited as a reference. (A lot of work for a blurb in Wikipedia, but I'd thought I'd throw it out there.) My mom has some great photos of entirely uprooted trees (mature oaks and maples I think, anyway...huge trees) around downtown Eugene. I'm going to see if she will give me permission to add one to the article. The WP:OR guideline doesn't seem to apply to images, luckily. Katr67 20:47, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pineapple Express
Have any of the editors here see anything that relates the Columbus Day Storm to the Pineapple Express? My impression is that the CDS is not closely related; if so, that point should probably be made in this article. However, if the CDS is an example of the PE, that should probably be included in both articles. George H. Taylor implies that the CDS did not tap into the PE phenomenon.
