Oregon Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
A trained spotter reported numerous trees and power lines downed along a path from Oregon to northeast of Albion from damaging severe thunderstorm wind gusts estimated at 65 knots (75 mph). The winds tore some siding off a home in Oregon. Heavy rain caused ponding of water on area roadways, with water over the curb on some streets in Oregon.
Powerful thunderstorm winds pushed over dozens of large trees, and broken tree branches snapped several power-lines in a 5-mile-wide swath. In Stoughton, the winds knocked over an empty semi-trailer which then impacted and damaged two other trailers. Also, a road sign in Stoughton was pushed over at a 45-degree angle.
Powerful thunderstorm winds gusts knocked down several large trees onto STH Hwy 14 south of Oregon.
Powerful thunderstorm wind gusts to 52 knots (60 mph) toppled many trees and damaged several power-lines.
