Tillamook County, OR – A powerful windstorm swept through Tillamook County today, triggering power outages, roadway debris, and infrastructure concerns across the county as emergency crews worked to respond and restore services.
According to the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, the storm caused widespread impacts, including downed trees, hazardous road conditions, and power disruptions affecting residents throughout Tillamook County along the northern Oregon Coast. Emergency responders are coordinating closely with Tillamook People’s Utility District (PUD) and Tillamook County Public Works to address storm-related damage.
Crews have been actively assessing damage, clearing debris from roadways, and working to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. Officials say multiple teams remain deployed across affected areas, including rural roads and coastal routes, where fallen branches and utility lines pose ongoing risks to drivers.
Authorities are urging residents to use caution when traveling, particularly in areas with limited visibility or standing debris. Downed power lines should be avoided at all times, as they may still be energized. Any immediate emergencies should be reported by calling 911.
Non-emergency issues — such as road debris, localized flooding, or power outages — should be reported directly to the appropriate agency, including local utility providers or public works departments, to help crews prioritize response efforts.
Public safety remains the top priority as recovery efforts continue. Officials thanked residents for their patience and cooperation as crews work through storm impacts across Tillamook County and nearby communities near the Oregon Coast.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local alerts and official agency updates for the latest information as weather conditions and restoration timelines evolve.
