Powerful wind-driven downpour lashes the Oregon coast during a nighttime storm in Seaside, USA

On November 8, 2026, in Seaside, Oregon, USA, @pratt_gr shared a video showing an intense nighttime downpour during a powerful Pacific storm system. In the video, sheets of heavy rain fall rapidly at a steep angle as strong wind gusts drive the rain sideways, creating challenging weather conditions along the coast. According to reports, the heavy rainfall was part of an active Pacific storm system that brought successive weather fronts to Oregon and Washington in early November, following an unusually dry October. The system brought torrential rainfall and strong coastal winds to communities including Seaside, Cannon Beach, and Depoe Bay. A High Wind Warning was issued for Clatsop and Tillamook counties, with sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph and gusts reaching up to 60 mph. The National Weather Service also warned beachgoers about dangerous sneaker waves capable of surging unexpectedly far up the shoreline and carrying heavy debris.
