Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski declared a state-wide state of emergency late Monday after hurricane-force winds and heavy rain slammed the Oregon Coast for the second day in a row.

The powerful storm reached as far as Portland, bringing heavy downpours that flooded many streets.

KGW Meteorologist Dave Salesky said residents should expect moderate to heavy rain stretching from all across the Oregon Coast and on to Eugene, Portland, Vancouver and all the way to Seattle.

"Winds won't start to taper off until about 5 p.m., Monday. Then, even on Tuesday we will continue to see rain showers and some lighter wind gusts," Salesky said.

Monday morning, peak wind gusts had already reached 33 miles an hour in Portland and 54 elsewhere in the Willamette Valley, Salesky said. And as of 10 a.m., two inches of fresh rain had fallen since Sunday in Portland. The highest wind gusts so far were reported at Cape Meares, at 114 miles an hour.

Meantime, before the high winds reached Portland, they battered the Oregon coast.

The powerful storm came off the ocean and as it reached land, it knocked down trees and power lines, tore off roofs and caused widespread power outages. By Monday morning, wind speeds had surpassed 100 miles an hour in some areas along the coast.

One gust of 105 mph was reported at Cape Mears in Tillamoook County Sunday morning. Sheriff Todd Anderson reported surf of 35-40 feet.

Sunday's storm damaged largest Sitka spruce in U.S.

Perhaps the most notable damage was that to a historic Sitka Spruce near the coast. The tree, which was the largest Sitka Spruce in U.S., cracked and fell Sunday. Passersby were seen hauling off scraps of the tree for keepsakes.

The wind knocked down trees and power lines in Portland, too. As many as 24,000 PGE customers lost power at one time and 27,354 Pacific Power customers during the peak of the problem. "Pacific Power crews are working diligently to restore storm-related outages along the Oregon coast, the mid-Willamette Valley, Southern Oregon and in other parts of the state," a Pacific Power spokesperson said. "Crews are working around the clock to get power back on as quickly and safely as possible."
