Tornado from Page 1A
Brennan came down to the coast and
spent until 11 p.m. Friday night trying to
clear brush before Saturday’s threatened
second round of storms. 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.”

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

don’t really expect a tornado to come
down in the middle of Manzanita.”
Gordon McCraw, the director of
Tillamook County Emergency Man-
agement, said Monday morning that the
cleanup continues.
McCraw said 128 structures were
damaged, from minor to severe. Four
structures — two residences and two
businesses — are too dangerous to enter.
All but 44 residents had power by Satur-
day afternoon.

“(The public utilities department)
planted a lot of poles really quick and
connected the wires to get the electricity
restored,” McCraw said. “Those guys
are rock stars.”
The tornado came on shore to the
south of Laneda Avenue and headed
northwest crossing Laneda and other
streets, before dissipating prior to strik-
ing U.S. Highway 101.
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.

report.
