Tornado: ‘Manzanita is here and back to normal’
Continued from Page 1A
Chung Lee, the owner of
Manzanita Market & Deli, was
one of the lucky businesses on
Laneda Avenue that escaped
significant damage. He was out
of town when the tornado hap-
pened, and remembers driving
from Astoria only to find the
roads blocked with debris.
“I couldn’t believe it. It kind
of looked like a war zone. I
was concerned because I didn’t
realize it was so bad until I got
here,” Lee said.
But it wasn’t even 24 hours
later before his power was
restored and the debris that pre-
vented him from entering town
the first time was cleared by
volunteers and city employees.
“It’s a small town, but we
always seem to pull together
when something like this hap-
pens,” Lee said, reflecting on
his 20 years living in the small
community of about 600 res-
idents. “Sometimes being a
small town is an advantage,
because you know each other
better, which means you help
each other out better.”
That camaraderie is also the
first thing that came to mind for
Doug Dick, a resident and con-
sultant for On the Level Inspec-
tion Concepts Inc.
When the tornado hit, Dick
was the town’s building official.
He said recuperation for dam-
aged houses has been slower
than expected due to compli-
cations homeowners have had
with insurance claims. But
what impressed him was the
initiative taken by local con-
struction companies immedi-
ately afterwards.
“I remember we were pull-
ing trees out of Laurel Street
so people could get into drive-
ways. All of a sudden, this kid
pops out of nowhere cutting
trees with his chainsaw. He was
just there to help,” Dick said.
“They didn’t wait to be told
what to do — they just went out
to do what they needed to do.”
Many older homes had to
be demolished because damage
was so severe, he said. While
it is sad to see older homes go,
he said the bright side is many
of the new homes being rebuilt
are more wind and earthquake
resistant, which will hope-
fully minimize the damage of
another storm.
A sense of normalcy has
returned. But Dan Haag, the
coordinator of the Manzanita
Visitors Center, said he still
receives calls from people ask-
ing whether the town is safe —
or even still exists.
Brenna Visser/The Daily Astorian
Every building but one has been rebuilt on Laneda Avenue,
the street where the tornado hit hardest last year in Manzanita.
“In general, the tornado has
turned into more of a curios-
ity thing now. People want to
know what happened,” Haag
said. “But a lot people haven’t
been back since the summer
before the tornado. At first, we
asked, ‘How are we ever going
to get people back here?’”
From what Haag can tell,
Manzanita still saw the same
number of visitors over the
summer. Now he is encour-
aging people to keep coming
back.
“We are getting the word
out: Manzanita is here and back
to normal.”
