My friend who lives outside Portland sent me links to the wind damage they had a few days ago. With a link about the Columbus Day storm of 1962: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_Day_Storm_…. At Oregon's Cape Blanco, an anemometer that lost one of its cups registered wind gusts in excess of 145 miles per hour (233 km/h); some reports put the peak velocity at 179 miles per hour (288 km/h).
At the Naselle Radar Station in the Willapa Hills of southwest Washington, a wind gust of 160 miles per hour (260 km/h) was observed.[5]
|Whew. That was close. It coulda been Landslide by Fleetwood Mac or Mudslide Slim by James Taylor|
Ouch…the Oakland hills are pretty, but I didn't know they were potentially dangerous. Stay safe, honey!

Lemme see–a 200 ft prominence, and you're 200 ft from the top…
We solve this problem out here by having no elevation to worry over, but we compensate by being terrified by hurricanes and nor'easters.
