Other events from our affiliates:

• Portland Nursery's 29th annual apple tasting festival. This is the best place to find delicious apples and to eat strudel. Don't attempt to drive; parking will be worse than downtown.

#Slacklining This is like IRC, which will be comforting if you remember IRC and entirely unilluminating if you don't. It's a chatty thing where we're working out the details of the plans because we're all planning this party together. If you want to know where the people are at, etc., ask to be added to the slack and then we can play together on the Internet like we're back in the early oughts, except with emoji.

#Accommodations are being made Here are arrangements. If you don't see your name here, we don't know you're planning on staying at our house! (Or we haven't figured out how to edit this dealy yet.) If arrangements confuse or alarm or don't meet your standards, please alert the hosts.

October 9-12, 1962

The Columbus Day Storm of 1962 (otherwise known as the Big Blow) was an extratropical wave cyclone that ranked among the most intense to strike the United States Pacific Northwest since at least 1948, likely since the January 9, 1880, "Great Gale" and snowstorm. On a larger scale, the Columbus Day Storm of 1962 is a contender for the title of most powerful extratropical cyclone recorded in the U.S. in the 20th century; with respect to wind velocity, it is unmatched by the March 1993 "Storm of the Century" and the "1991 Halloween Northeaster" (aka "The Perfect Storm"). In the eastern United States, only hurricanes of Category 3 or higher have brought winds of the magnitude witnessed in Oregon and Washington on Columbus Day, October 12, 1962.
