Losses from last week's killer storm that wreaked havoc on Oregon and Washington have still not been assembled, but they are expected to meet the estimates of heavy damage.
Brad Weekly, regional director for the N.W. Insurance Council, said the major problem from the storm was a huge number of downed trees throughout the region.
He said the storm, with wind gusts that exceeded 100 mph, came after 10 straight days of heavy rain that had loosened the trees root systems, making them more susceptible to toppling over.
