The National Weather Service has issued many warnings for the Grays Harbor Area. The information is from a 5:45pm, Sunday, Nov 15, 2009 webinar, held by the National Weather Service discussing the impending weather issues with the different Emergency Management officials from around the State. All Hazards Weather Radios were activated to all coastal residents, informing of the Coastal Flood Watch issued for Tuesday. Grays harbor Emergency Management has notified all Coastal authorities of the impending weather situation.

1) The first is a High Wind Warning which will actually happen in 2 stages. The first stage forecasted will likely give damaging winds to the coast and North interior and will be in effect from Sunday around midnight and lasting thru early Monday with winds expected to be sustained at 40-50 MPH with gusts up to 75 MPH. The second stage will produce more widespread damage and begin around 12 hours later after midnight Tuesday morning thru Tuesday afternoon. These winds will be more intense, along the coast and felt inland also and will produce sustained winds of 50-60 MPH with gusts up to 85 MPH.
Widespread damage can occur at either time as well as power outages and tree limbs breaking. Grays Harbor County Emergency Management is suggesting that all citizens prepare for potential power outages, secure items in their yard and to be aware of falling trees and power lines.

2) The second is a Flood Watch for the Satsop River area. The projection is that the River will become Bank Full on Tuesday Morning. All residents are being advised to keep aware of the situation and monitor their radio stations. A flood watch means that conditions are favorable for flooding but flooding IS NOT imminent or occurring

3) There is a flood watch for Aberdeen on Tuesday where the 12:45pm high tide could exceed 14’ due to a number of factors. All low lying coastal areas could see flooding over roadways then.

It's probably brown-snouted because it has maple bar all over its face.

City of Hoquiam Breaking News: Hoquiam Bear Captured

Officials have trapped the bear believed to have been sighted in several residential areas of Hoquiam. WDFW will release the bear in a suitable location outside of city limits. We are thankful the bear (nicknamed "Yogi" and/or "Apple") has been captured for the safety of our residents and for the bear.

@Rene, I know you were being facetious, but we already have an ordinance prohibiting the keeping of wild animals. The problem with this bear is he/she does not want to be kept.

The bear had to go to the high rent district for anyone to care about catching it.

Steve Johnson As team captain for the City of Hoquiam Employees Relay for Life team, I attended the GH County Relay for Life kick-off on Saturday, at GH College. It was well attended, and very upbeat and informative as always. In 2009, GH County was number 2 in the nation in our division. We were also number 1 in the Great Wester...n Region, which is comprised of 12 states. This year the theme will be: "Saving Lives -- Celebrating More Birthdays." I would encourage everyone to get involved with the Relay for Life of Grays Harbor. If you are not on a team, the City of Hoquiam Employees would be happy to accept donations and forward them to the Relay for Life in your name, or that of a friend or loved one.
