Washington County Library, after the Columbus Day storm

Description
-
Black and white image of tree limbs and other debris on the sidewalk in front of the Washington County Library building. Most likely this was after the Columbus Day Storm, a massive windstorm that ravaged northern California, Oregon, and Washington on October 12, 1962. Forty seven people died, hundreds were injured, and in Oregon alone the cost of damages was estimated at close to $200,000,000 in current value (equivalent to anywhere between $3 billion and $5 billion in today's dollars.)
