"Countless Oregonians over
the age of 50 remembers where
they were when the Columbus
Day Storm hit," says Oregon
H istorical Society Executive
D ire c to r K erry T y m ch u k .
"Though the storm caused ex
tensive destruction to the Pa
cific Northwest, it also brought
communities together as neigh
bors shared the few resources
they had with each other during
the repowering process."
When visitors enter the ex
hibit, sponsored by Portland Gen
eral Electric, they will be in
stantly transported back in time
to 1962.
Inside the exhibit, large scale
artifacts will recreate the de
struction caused by the storm.
Step into a wind machine to ex
perience the wind gusts Orego
nians would have felt 50 years
ago during the storm's peak.
Kids and adults alike will en
joy playing meteorologist for a
day, as KGW Chief Meteorolo
gist Matt Zaffino instructs visi
tors how to tell the weather with
the exhibit's green screen. The
exhibit will also feature photo
graphs, film footage, and inter
views from the many Orego
nians who still remember the
event.
As visitors leave the exhibit,
they can learn about disaster
preparedness from PGE, who
was responsible for much of the
repowering process in 1962.
The Oregon History Museum
at the Oregon Historical Society
is located at 1200 S.W. Park
Ave. The exhibit will be on dis
play through Jan. 6. Museum
hours are Monday through Sat
urday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
