A Tornado...In Portland?

7/9/2019 (Permalink)

When we think of the Portland weather tornadoes probably aren’t the first thing that comes to mind.  It makes sense that residents of Portland don’t think about them since on average there are only three that occur in the entire state annually.  While they are uncommon, just last week a tornado touched down in Northeast Portland.

 Beginning with a hail and thunderstorm that crossed across Portland and Southwest Washington ended with toppled trees and power outages.  A few trees fell and there was a report of one attic fire from the extreme weather.  The positive to this severe for Portland weather is that was not any report of injuries from the storm. 

 As rare as it is for this type of storm to cause damage here in the great city of Portland, they do occur.  If your home or business is unfortunate enough to sustain damages from this kind of weather SERVPRO of Southeast Portland is here to make it “Like it never even happened.”
