On this date in 1880, Southwestern Washington, the Lower Columbia and the Oregon Coast seem to have experienced a great windstorm, one that might have rivaled the Columbus Day Storm of 1962. Little is know of the storm as the areas hit were remote and not heavily populated. Reports in the area papers suggest blizzard conditions with a large amount of trees toppled due to the wind and snow.
