At 5:40 a.m. on Thursday, the National Weather Service issued an updated strong wind warning for the North Oregon Coast Range, which was in force until 10 a.m.
“West to southwest winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts 50 to 65 mph, with the strongest winds over the higher terrain,” the meteorological agency warns. In the low elevations, it can reach 45 mph. After 9 am, the winds will gradually subside.
Damaged winds have the potential to topple electrical wires and trees. There may likely be power outages. The weather agency warns that travel will be challenging, particularly for well-known automobiles. “People should stay indoors away from trees and branches and in wooded areas. Avoid windows during the windstorm and try to stay in the lower floors of your house. If you have to drive, drive carefully. Driving in such severe winds can be challenging, particularly for cars with a prominent profile. Be especially careful.
