0924 PM     Tornado          Rockaway Beach          45.61N 123.94W
11/11/2024                   Tillamook          OR   Trained Spotter

            *** 1 INJ ***
            EF-0 tornado with estimated winds of 85 mph.
            The tornado briefly touched down in Rockaway
            Beach, OR. It occurred around 9:24 PM
            11/11/24 and lasted one to two minutes or so
            according to the spotter that reported it.
            KRTX radar imagery depicted a fairly strong
            velocity couplet over Rockaway Beach. This
            likely formed as a waterspout then made
            landfall, though the path was not
            continuous. There have been multiple reports
            of damage to fences, roof shingles, and a
            window and dirt/debris being tossed around.
            Upon further investigation, more security
            camera video footage was received from the
            Neah-Kah-Nie School district showing
            distinct rotation of a tornado moving
            through a parking lot where several items
            were thrown or moved including portions of a
            baseball dug-out, porta-potty, and several
            dumpsters. A garage on the premises had its
            roof blown off and the garage doors blown
            in. One minor injury was reported. The
            maximum width of the the tornado is
            estimated at 150 yards and an estimated path
            length of 0.25 miles based on damage
            reports.
