Does anyone remember cars destroyed in the storm? Yours, your parents, relatives, friends, Oregonians, Washingtonians.........anyone else. Some would say "it's not about the cars, it's the people", well, today it's about the cars. We didn't own a car so we were sort of lucky. A few from Google search.
I vaguely remember it, although only being five years old my memory is more than likely built on hearing other's stories about it.
Don’t remember the cars, but we had 2 friends that had small aircraft blown into Lake Washington. Pulled the tie outs out of the concrete.
Yes it was, I was eight years old and unbeknownst to my folks, I ran out in the street, just as I got there, I looked towards the end of the street and saw the lumber yards' big open sided storage building come crashing down.
I was 13 walking home the 5 blocks we lived from school. I remember leaning into the wind like I was in a hurricane, don't remember a lot of destruction in my neighborhood, but when I got home I stood under a giant old walnut tree that stood in the corner of our yard. It was an English walnut grafted to a black walnut trunk, Dad said the black walnut was a stronger breed of tree and silly me was standing under it as it struggled against the wind. The ground rose and fell as the roots tightened their grip in the dirt. Dad was right it stood proudly until a few years ago when age and rot took it's toll. The huge trunk was harvested for the beautiful black walnut lumber.
