Looking back: The Columbus Day Storm of 1962 On October 12, 1962, the Columbus Day Storm brought some of the strongest winds ever recorded in the Pacific Northwest. More than 11 billion board feet of timber was blown down across Northern California, Oregon, and Washington, and total damage was estimated at $230-280 million at the time (roughly $2.4-2.9 billion today). The storm also resulted in a record $700,000 in losses for Granwest, equivalent to roughly $7 million today. More than 60 years later, the Columbus Day Storm remains a reminder of the importance of understanding regional risks and helping businesses and communities prepare for the unexpected.
