The wider storm

Extremely heavy swells that were built by storms moving over the Eastern Pacific hit the NW Oregon and SW Washington Coasts. The worst of the damage occurred within 2 hours either side of the high tide times which were around noon. River traffic on the entire Columbia River system was stalled when ships could not navigate the Mouth of the Columbia River due to extremely dangerous waves breaking at the Columbia River Bar. The Bar was closed between 10:00 AM PST and 8:30 PM PST.
