Fifty years ago, the Pacific Northwest experienced the Columbus Day Storm with winds of up to 130 mph in the Willamette Valley and 170 mph along the Pacific Coast. The Oregon Chapter of the American Meteorological Society holds a commemoration event on Saturday, October 13, 10:00 a.m. at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry . "We will take a look deep inside the storm, as seen through the eyes of the public and the Meteorologists who tracked it. We will present rare audio and video recordings from the night of the storm featuring late KGW Meteorologist Jack Capell and those who were present when the 600ft tall KGW transmitter tower fell to the ground."
