Greetings from Oregon. We spent the last couple days on the very stormy Oregon coast. We had a blast playing on the beach in the wind, rain, and foam showers (which looked like big chunks of snow). The wind was so strong and constant you could lean back into it and take a nap. I kind of felt like a weatherman out there.
The coastal road was littered with fallen branches and trees (luckily none of which blocked our way), and the hotel parking lot was scattered with roof shingles and other debris.
We were lucky that our hotel had power the whole time we were there. Many points south and north of where we stayed weren’t so fortunate. The aquarium was closed due to a power outage, but we managed to catch the Rogue brewery just as it was re-opening after their day without electricity. Nothing like a before-noon beer tasting to get you in the mood for some more storm chasing!
More storm (and beer) photos here.
Wow! I loved the second picture. Now I’m off to see the rest! 🙂
Great pictures! Both of them look pretty impressive.
All the photos containing Scott and I (we’re the ones in the blue and yellow) were taken by my photography-enthusiast father-in-law. See more of his stuff at http://flickr.com/photos/rolandlh/
The beer photo… that was all me. Impressive, I know.
Oh yes, the Rogue is a required stopping place. Did you have the Reuben sandwich too?
I think I need a trip to the OR coast… Or maybe just downtown for a beer!
