litheraAverage seas of 46 feet, with some waves recorded as high as 70 feet have been recorded by offshore buoys off the north Oregon Coast. In fact, the weather buoy off the Columbia Bar become ripped from its tether and is now adrift in the Pacific.
River data show the Skokomish River nearing all-time record flood stage. The previous record flow rate on the Skykomish near Potlatch was 13,800 cfs set in 1976. The latest reading on that same meter is now 27,000 cfs. The previous flood-stage record was set in 1997 at 17.64 feet. We have now broken that at 17.83 feet and rising. Prepare for major flooding on a level never seen before along that river. Records have been kept on that river since 1929.
A mudslide blocked part of Westlake Avenue North in the 2400 block. Another mudslide blocked one lane of Highway 99 near 14th Avenue South, and a sinkhole ruptured the road at Golden Gardens Drive NW and NW 85th Street near Ballard.
The Hood Canal Bridge is stuck in the open position.
Some wind gusts:
Lincoln City, Ore.: 125 mph
Cape Disappointment: 104 mph
Hurricane Ridge: 86 mph
Aberdeen: 62 mph
Bellingham: 53 mph
Everyone in the PNW take care out there. It's ugly and we've been getting power flickers here all morning long.
