How much wind, rain is expected before storm settles?
PORTLAND, Ore. -- High winds and plenty of rain could be on the way for the coast with a storm bound for the area.
Waves were crashing on the shore earlier Sunday near the Inn at the Spanish Head resort in Lincoln City.
Two to four inches of rain are expected on the coast overnight and possibly 1-3 inches of rain overnight for the valley.
Wind gusts at the beach have reached 65 mph and are expected to pick up even more, possibly reaching 90 mph, Sunday night and early Monday. Wind gusts of 45 mph are expected in the valley and wind gusts could reach 60 mph in the Cascades.
Well the storm is thundering ashore on the central coast...to keep a finger on the heartbeat of the storm try this site for updates.    www.newslincolncounty.com

@Karla Readsalot LOL sip sip, choke restrained, sip, "Good ship man!" sip, choke restrained.
This famous quote from Tallahassee: 'There's a box of Twinkies in that grocery store. Not just any box of Twinkies, the last box of Twinkies that anyone will enjoy in the whole universe. Believe it or not, Twinkies have an expiration date. Some day very soon, Life's little Twinkie gauge is gonna go... empty.'Â pretty much says it all.
Perhaps if this was about plague, pestilence, a 10.0 earthquake, and just maybe the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse, then it might be newsworthy. As this stands now, this is nothing more than a November storm in the Pacific Northwest. Happens every year about this time. But leave it to the news people to sensationalize it. Â
Nothing to see here, move along. Move along.
The east coast storm was significant in the sinister artificial steering by HAARP. The Secret govt has technology to do many things that the public is not aware of. They can turbo-charge storms for greater damage. Spend your time and attention waking up and informing yourself and others. Find info on You Tube, especially under Project Camelot and Project Avalon. Wake the sheeple
 @awakeandaware Que up the sinister background music.
@awakeandaware Take your meds, and don't forget to wear your aluminum foil hat to block the chip that the government put in your head.
A storm like this causes a major catastophe on the east coast.  In the Pacific NW we call it a strong gale.
I give our coastal residents a lot of credit for being a hardy lot. Where's CNN News now to cover this story?
I would love to see Geraldo out there on the Oregon beach trying to hang on to his toupee in 100 MPH winds.

@Older than dirt
 @Older than dirt Absolutely, and of course it makes for great Tabloid Journalism. Great weather for hunting ducks taking cover and all those kite-flyers. Time to move for some that had no idea and for the rest, we cannot wait for the snow....
@boned @Older than dirt
 @Older than dirt Just think, on the east coast they'd be calling out FEMA afterwards, while here we just get excited about have the fresh salmon moving up the rivers.
 @Older than dirt Nobody "of worth" lives outside of NY, y'know. Well, outside of Manhattan Island and NJ. We live in a separate country. ;-)
Â
I know! Wind gusts of 40 mph are just as bad as hurricane sandy. We PNW'ers are so much tougher than flat landers right! And 3 inches of rain is even worse than massive flooding in densely populated areas.
 @washcomom  @Older than dirt Heck, we drink coffee stronger than tar, climb 100 foot trees for the fun of it, do our own surgery when our feet get webbed, and wear flannel like it's a ball gown. 90 mph winds? Pffft. We Oregonians are a hardy bunch. Granted, take away our electricity and our coffee and we might not be so tough. :)  Just Kidding! We're more used to the winds & rain as is our environment. Taking nothing away from the East Coast but we just would fare better in that type of situation when we are used to it.
@shewiz You like sitting outside as well?? Shooowee Shewiz, I thought I was the only nut basket. I have a place under the rather sizable eaves next to my front door that I put in a wood stove to sit by. If the wind isn't blowing the wrong way, I can sit there and watch the night go by ....... if i so danged well please!! Sometimes the neighbors bring a bottle and we sit there and snear at the weather.Â
Â
 Yeah, and yesterday my blue eyed curvy friend and I hiked through the woods in the rain looking for shrooms. It's been a bad year for that so we stopped by an oyster farmer's barn and sorted oysters with him for awhile and bought a bushel full. As we got in the car, still soaking wet,  we wreaked of dead oysters but that's livng in the PNW. Â
Â
 I gave up climbing trees. I'm too old but what a view from 100 feet up in a big towering Doug fir.
Â
As FIR sitting outside in the weather, Motel Rick (RIP) and I used to sit in the protected alcove of his studio apartment and watch the waves roll in during storms in Oceanside. We stood next to the boomers in the parking lot one night and the next morning that part of the parking lot was washed away. OOPS!!
Â
I love living here. Sure beats the upper mid-west as well as the East coast.
 @Kymberlie2873  @washcomom  @Older than dirt And, for the record, sitting outside here in Newport, it's an exciting storm, no matter where you're at. Dogs safely inside - I'm the only crazy one.

 @Kymberlie2873  @washcomom  @Older than dirt This is why I stock up on Starbuck's espresso in little cups. :)
