Episode 46: Eye Of The Storm


Listen Later

Weather has been a part of human history since before humans could use tools, and while we associate things like tornados with the Midwest and hurricanes with Florida, Oregon has seen it's fair share of devastation. Stories include the Columbus Day Storm, Aumsville tornado, the flood of 1996, and many more!
