December '07: Mother Nature roars to close out year
Wednesday, January 02, 2008 | No comments posted.
Ferocious winds.
High seas.
Torrents of rain.
Mother Nature unloaded on Oregon’s Coast in December. While the most devastating impact of the storm was to the north, the South Coast suffered its share of weather-related problems.
Especially in Bandon and points south, the storm, carrying hurricane-force winds, wreaked havoc, toppling trees and with them, power lines. Residents were without electricity for days; some for almost a week. But stores remained open, neighbor helped neighbor and, when the winds and seas calmed, the cleanup began.
And so did the stories — which likely will be magnified in the years to come, as longtime residents recall the “Big One of ‘07!”
