On Sunday, he, like other neighbors, cleared logs, stacked brush and boarded windows. In the aftermath, tourists in Manza- nita were few, but the buzz of chainsaws sounded steadily through the city. On Manzanita Avenue, contractor Mark Whitten was busy clearing wood. He’d been working since right after the tornado. “Just takin’ down a tree,” Whitten said. “Then I’ll start taking down more trees.” Steve Feltz, whose home was undam- aged, said the tornado angled through town in a narrow swath. “It didn’t come up straight up Laneda,” Feltz said “It looks like it came from the southwest to the northeast. It surprises me there’s not more damage to the houses.” Starlight Frost of Manzanita News The latest exhibit in Cannon Beach Gallery fea- tures the paintings of Mark Andres. Andres is a multi- media artist luent in draw- ing, painting, animation and ilm. Stylistically, his color pallet evokes com- parisons to Fauvism, and his work pays some tribute to German Expressionism. In his depiction of As- toria, Andres balances a sentimental affection for the town’s quaintness with the matter-of-fact inclusion of harsher, lest picturesque elements in much the same way the town balances leisure and industry. An opening reception takes place Saturday, Oct. 22, from 6-7 p.m. and an artist talk the following morning on Sunday, Oct. 23, at 11 a.m. The exhi- bition will be on display from Oct. 22 to Nov. 27. Gallery hours are Wednes- day through Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; cannon- beacharts.org or by 503- 436-0744. and Espresso said she was at her home near Highway 53 early Friday morning when “bright pink lightning lit up the sky.” She received a call from the barista on duty that “a small tornado just hit Manzanita.” “From here, this seemed small to her,” Frost said Sunday morning at the cafe, located at 500 Laneda. “The fun- nel went right on the other side of the building.” At Manzanita Sweets and Toylandia, “no one was in the building luckily,” Mark Eckstrom, whose mother owns the store, said. “I was at my house over in Pine Ridge when I got the tornado warning. Then I heard that it came to Manzanita and I came down to check on things.” Eckstrom spent the weekend trying to clean up and boarding windows at the shop and for neighbors. Have you ever seen anything like this here? “Not really,” Eckstrom said. “You R.J.

McCraw said 128 structures were damaged, from minor to severe. Four structures — two residences and two businesses — are too dangerous to enter.

McCraw said the National Weather Service calculated that it was an EF2 tornado and was on the ground for sev- en-tenths of a mile. The tornado scale extends from zero to 5, and an EF2 clas- siication describes a tornado that can cause considerable damage. A second tornado was reported in Oceanside. “The remarkable thing is being one of the stronger tornados to strike Oregon in recent history and for the distance it traveled, we had no deaths and no re- ported injuries,” he said.
