 Just for the sake of keeping everyone up to speed. I have migrated the old washed ashore website into the new Wreck website. So if you had an account at washedashore.org it will still work on this site. Washedashore.org is getting a brand new streamlined look to it, to make it easier to use for our attendees. So all the galleries and forums are now kept here at www.thewreckpirates.com |

| Looks like things are starting to get going. With the camping season in full swing, we have lots of fun to look forward to. The Site is getting up to speed. Sorry about the long delay on getting everything updated. As you can see the Site location and event dates have been set. So mark off your calender and get ready. Also many other things have been added to the site. We have added a Fleet Roster that shows the list of members in our ships. There has been a event location page added as well, that shows how to get to the site. The Event Registration and Merchant Registration Pages have been added but there is no information on them yet. I should have these updated and working within the next week. Also a fund raiser has been started to get the wreck a larger tent for holding events out of harsh weather conditions. The donation button and progress bar are located on the right bar of the page. If you can spare some money to help the Wreck reach its goal by SeaDogs, we will be forever grateful. Well thats all for now. |

 Well I am back from The Gathering. It was a fun filled weekend. My only wish is that it was a bit longer. Now this is only my second season doing pirate events, but it felt a lot bigger than Sea Dog 2007 to me. But that could have been all the hills you had to climb to get anywhere. Even the rain did not stop us. Most everyone stayed all the way through to Monday. Some people ducked out early in fear of more rain but after they left the rain left and the clouds stayed. So overall it was a very fun weekend. |

Tornado Lands Near Washed Ashore |

Tornado hits Linn County
LEBANON - A funnel cloud touched down late Friday afternoon at Bob Cate’s home on Tennessee School Road, tearing off sections of roof from his seed and vehicle warehouses and scattering debris half a mile away.
Neighbors gathered to help Cate clean up and to move thousands of pounds of grass seed into a more protected corner of his damaged barn.
It’s the first tornado Cate and his wife, Alene, have experienced in their 58 years in Lebanon.
Cate was outside shortly before 5 p.m. when it started to hail. He went inside and the funnel cloud touched down shortly afterward.
He heard only what sounded like “a big fan,” but his neighbor Dan Roth said the noise was more like a freight train.
“I was in my shop working and I heard it,” Roth said. “I went and looked out the window and I saw a big funnel cloud. ... It looked like a tornado. There was no doubt about it.”
The tornado blew the doors off all the barns and shops on the property and ripped sections of roof from every building but the Cate home.
It also took down four trees on the Cate property and two on the Roth place and left a twisted ribbon of metal inches from the Cate front porch. “What saved the house was those three redwoods,” Cate said, nodding at the trees standing around his home, the historic S.C. Myers House, built in 1888.
Two cedars, a walnut and a fir weren’t so lucky. The uprooted cedars fell on his garage, knocking a few shingles off the home’s roof. The other trees fell in the yard, littering the ground with leaves and snapped branches.
Pacific Power employees spent the evening repairing downed lines on Cate’s property. Officials with the Linn County Road Department surveyed the area and reported a debris path from Tennessee School Road over neighboring KGAL Drive.
Roth and other neighbors talked about the storm as they removed the damaged, 15-foot corrugated metal doors from the Cate seed warehouse and fired up a John Deere loader to push some 150,000 pounds of fescue seed away from the open roof.
Gary Crossan saw the cloud from about two miles away.
“We could see that thing just swirling,” he said. “You could see it develop a little funnel, go back up ... all of a sudden it looked like it went through a burnt field, because it all went black.”
“It went down, picked up a bunch of stuff and just started throwing it everywhere,” said Mike Hayes, another neighbor about two miles away. “Crazy. Totally crazy.”
“It was just amazing,” Roth said. “I can understand why people in the Midwest head for the basement.”
No one officially recorded Lebanon’s tornado Friday, but conditions were perfect for one to occur.
David Elson, a meteorologist with the Portland office of the National Weather Service, said radar data indicated thunderstorms and a rotating storm pattern.
Funnel clouds are likely in the mid-valley during a “cold core low,” an upper-atmosphere phenomenon in which a low-pressure storm moves over the area with very cold air near its center. The clouds become tornados if they touch the ground.
State Climatologist George Taylor wasn’t surprised that a tornado formed. “With the cold low over us, we were speculating today there might be funnel clouds,” he said.
Meteorologists calculate a tornado’s wind speed from the damage it causes. About Friday’s, Elson guessed in the neighborhood of 75 miles per hour.
“That’s a shot in the dark,” he said.
Thunderstorms in the mid-valley were expected to end Friday night and no hazardous weather — unless rain counts — is predicted for the next few days. Temperatures are expected to be in the low to mid 60s with showers likely most of next week.
