Black and white image of a pile of debris, including a small airplane resting upside down on the top of the pile.

The highest winds recorded in the Portland area reached 116 mph, but many local anemometers (wind gauges) were destroyed by the storm after reaching their measurement capacity. Oregon airports reported a total of 226 airplanes damaged and 56 completely wrecked, along with twenty-four hangars destroyed by the Columbus Day Storm.
