Aaannd, For the old guys in the west...Columbus day in 1962, the BIG Blow, recorded winds in Wash, Oregon and Northern Calif broke all records. A broken anemometer with one arm missing recorded 145 mph winds at Cape Blanco Oregon...179 mph at Gold Beach Oregon airport. 46 dead. Power and highways lost for weeks. No looting.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
