T&T: No. Oregon Coast Storm, This Weekend.

[Mike Maurice]

Buoy and other near coastal observations in the past hour indicate that 
the intense part of the storm is very narrow along a front from about 
Crescent City to Destruction Island. The high wind and waves appears to 
be a band of about 100 miles wide near the coast. In the past hour winds 
are about 45 with gusts to 55, wave heights near 20 feet.
Outside of this narrow band, the wave and winds are more on the order of 
25 knots and 10 foot seas.

This is a very interesting storm. It is almost exactly 50 weeks since 
the biggest storm of Fall 2006, which resulted in the loss of the 
Catamaran CatShot. I would say that the Dec 2006 storm was much worse 
than this. Standby while the fury finds it's strength.

There are webcams at Brookings, Bandon and other places.
