Tornado Warning Cancelled for Clackamas and Marion Counties

In an encouraging update for the residents, the NWS cancelled the tornado warnings for Clackamas pest control, Oregon. The warning was issued following intense storm activity earlier today and set into motion all safety measures in the region, ranging from shelter-in-place alerts and broadcast messages to emergency notifications.

Under the radar-capable tornado warning, a rotation and severe thunderstorm conditions had gripped the community already under pressure from erratic summer weather. Fortunately for them, there was no confirmation of any tornado touchdown, and in fact, the storm system weakened considerably while to the east.

Officials for emergency management are praising the rapid action taken by community members and their officials alike. Many complied with protocol by entering basements or interior rooms and closely monitoring local alerts.

Reasons Behind the Issuance of the Warning
Meteorologists noticed detectable rotation within storm cells passing through the Willamette Valley, particularly south-southwest of Clackamas County, and the tornado warning was quickly expeditiously escalated. Tornado warnings are issued on radar presentation of a very strong possibility of tornado activity or when the actual tornado is observed by trained weather spotters.

The situation was favorable for tornado formation, but evolution to that stage never really occurred. Therefore, the warning was lifted some estimate 45 minutes after it was given. 

Current Conditions
Clear weather prevailing at this time in portions of Clackamas and Marion counties. The severe thunderstorm watch is valid until forecasters anticipate heavy rain continuing with hail and gusty winds expected late into the evening. The residents are therefore advised to think twice and refrain from going if the weather turns destructive.

No Damage or Injuries Reported
In good taste, there have been no reports of injury or damage from the storm. Emergency services are evaluating the extent of damage in the aftermath of the storm; however, early communication suggests that the region has avoided the wrath of a worst-case scenario. 

Utility companies on the spot for the weather outages might occur if anything arises, but, no major outages have been called upon.

Stay Prepared
The warning has been canceled, but authorities request the public remain alert. Tornadoes, however rare they are in Pacific Northwest, can occur amidst unstable weather.

Preparedness tips:

Keep emergency kits fully stocked.

Get yourself signed on for weather alerts through mobile or local application.
