The wider storm

A Pacific storm brought strong winds to the coastal waters, which helped to increase swell conditions in the Columbia River bar. A man was thrown overboard in the strong winds and large swell. The USCG conducted a search, but never found the individual. He is presumed dead.

Began near Cape Disappointment (46.2300, -124.0300).
