Interesting Weather
Weather is never bad. You just need the right attitude to appreciate it. We're having some interesting weather on the coast, especially from where we live (Florence, about midway) to the Columbia. One of our ad reps just moved in to a condo in Rockaway Beach. Right on the ocean, which seemed great when she looked at it during the summer, but suddenly with a wild Pacific storm comine ashore, she's starting to wonder.
Down here, the rainfall hasn't been nearly as much. It's been enough to loosen some of the cliff above Highway 101 around Sea Lion Caves (12 miles north), but the rivers aren't overflowing. Different story up north. Tillamook has a lot of low lying land and it always seems to be flooding. Somebody from the Weather Channel was up there this morning this morning giving it some unwanted publicity. A woman from the Seaside Chamber told me yesterday that Highway 101 was cut between Seaside and Cannon Beach.
But it seems to be calming down now. The Weather Channel is talking about an even bigger storm way out in the Pacific headed our way on Friday. We'll just have to wait and see.
