The Great Coastal Storm of 2007 was a series of three powerful Pacific storms that affected the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington and the Canadian province of British Columbia between December 1, 2007 and December 4, 2007.
The storms on December 2 and 3 produced an extremely long-duration wind event with hurricane-force wind gusts of
up to 137 mph (220 km/h) at Holy Cross, Washington on the Washington Coast, and 129 mph (208 km/h) at Bay City, Oregon on the Oregon Coast.[1][2] The storm also brought heavy rains and produced widespread record flooding throughout the region, and was blamed for at least 18 deaths.[3][4]
Meteorologists at the Oregon Climate Service named the storm in January 2008, drawing from the Great Gale of 1880, a similar powerful storm that affected the region in 1880.[5][6]
