MCMINNVILLE, Ore. – Three buildings were destroyed or heavily damaged after a tornado struck this town Thursday afternoon.
The National Weather Service confirmed late Thursday night that it was a tornado that destroyed or heavily damaged the buildings. The agency has not yet assigned a strength number to the twister.
No one was injured during the storm, Rich Leipfert, spokesman for the fire department, said.
The location of the damaged buildings is in the area of Northeast Lafayette Avenue and Riverside Drive.
Shortly after the storm hit, the National Weather Service sent a team to investigate eyewitness reports that it was a tornado.
Bill Schneider, a science and operations officer with the National Weather Service in Portland, said his office started tracking a storm cell in the area at 4:35 p.m. At about 4:45 p.m. his office started receiving reports that there was a tornado that touched down.
According to Leipfert, two of the destroyed buildings were unoccupied storage facilities. He said the third was not a business.
Officials fanned out from the buildings to search for more damage or anyone injured. But found neither.
Sheet metal roofing that blew off one building hit power lines, which caused a localized blackout, Leipfert said.
