The weatherman is giving the
Pacific Northwest an assortment
of Christmas presents, all of
them unpleasant: storms, wind
that broke power lines, a flood,
slush, and-to cap it off a
tWiSter. .@e.~-
And he appeared likely to un.
wrap still another ugly parcel
today: an ice glaze over high
ways in Eastern Washington.
The twiSter struck a residential
section at Long Beach, WASH,
yesterday amid storm sweep
ing inland from the ocean.
The 50-foot wide twister was
the first ever reported in that
area. Half of Eric Matson's 24x32-
foot roof was carried more than
a block away, where part of it
smashed the wall of a cottage
and the rest wrecked a glass-en-
closed porch.
The coastal storm brought
winds up to go miles an hour at
Astoria, closing the harbor there,
and dumped LOG inches of rain
on Newport in "a hours.
McMinnville suffered the worst
power failure in eight years
when the Salem =. McMinnville
line went out at the storms
height.
Bonneville crews did not find
the cause of the failure, but said
it possibly was a tree that fell
over the line, then later fell free.

Drigg did not have in hand the

However, Raymond Voyes,

McDermott said that IL the
Chinese wanted to buy rifles in

to approach the American gov.
