50 years ago: Columbus Day Storm

#1 Postby HurricaneBill » Sat Oct 13, 2012 2:48 am

Considered one of the worst extratropical systems to strike the Pacific Northwest.

Columbus Day Storm of 1962

The storm formed from the extratropical remnants of Typhoon Freda.

Freda is in the foreground. The storm near the horizon is Super Typhoon Emma.

Here's some footage of the Columbus Day storm.
