Volunteers in Oregon Gather to Assess Damage from Tornado on Coast
Volunteers who worked to keep residents safe when a tornado ripped through a coastal Oregon town are now assessing the damage.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reported that no one was hurt or killed by the tornado that ripped through Manzanita late last week and the storms that continued through Saturday evening.
But Linda Kozlowski, president of the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay, says there was significant damage.
The storm tripped up about a third of the city’s trees and damaged 128 or its 600 homes. Five are damaged beyond repair.
