(December 3, 2007)—Coastal residents of Washington State and Oregon are bracing for more strong winds Monday after powerful storms over the weekend down power lines.

Some schools have been closed and up to six inches of rain is expected by Monday night.

Tillamook County sheriff Todd Anderson reported nearly 40-foot waves and scattered power outages in the south end of the county but said there were no reports of injuries.

All of Lincoln County and parts of the mid-Willamette Valley also lost power.

The unusual storm is the product of a combination of moisture from three tropical typhoons and cold air coming down from Alaska.
