Upriver rescue Today we'll talk about a rescue upriver on the Columbia near Vancouver. A reminder that the river is a formidable force all along its length, and not just in the areas near the mouth where a lot of rescues, weather and other influences happen and get a lot of attention.

Waterspout off the Long Beach Peninsula shows the serious nature of local weatherAfter our near-miss with a severe storm that walloped Washington to the north of us, a thunderstorm off the Long Beach Peninsula yesterday spawned a waterspout in the ocean off Long Beach. The waterborne tornado moved on up the coast to Tokeland and beyond. And we have more weather on the way. Don't be tempted to feel cavalier about the fact that this round of weather "wasn't so bad." It could be next time. Winter on

Our weather continues, with a look at how vessels handle it at seaThat dangerous bomb cyclone storm is moving on to the north of us, leaving us with big seas for the next day or so. It was a close call... a storm packing hurricane force winds that somehow missed a direct hit on Oregon and Washington.

Bomb cyclone with deep low pressure shapes our coastal weather this week An intense low pressure storm called a bomb cyclone is churning out in the ocean a couple hundred miles offshore of the Oregon and Washington coast. While it's not predicted to make landfall here locally, it will send us some walloping winds, seas and rain. We'll talk about what to expect.

The ubiquitious, but seldom noticed, Quonset hut Today a look at a common but oft-overlooked maritime structure - the Quonset hut. First designed and built for the US Navy in 1941, they were styled after a WWI version called the Nissen hut. Once used in military installations during WWII, the Navy sold them surplus to the public after the war, and the rest, as they say, is history. And we'll hear what is probably the quintessential artistic work regarding this unusual style of building: Fisher Poet

As weather improves, a backlog of ships getting back to work Whenever the Columbia River Bar at the mouth of the river temporarily becomes too dangerous to cross because of bad weather, the result a day or so later is a backlog of ships that have been waiting to leave or to arrive. That creates a steady stream of vessels, 24/7, until everything is back to normal.

We'll talk about how weather matters here, and why it can seem calm off Astoria and be crazy dangerous just 17 miles to the west.

Add that to King Tides we'll see starting on Friday, and it's a recipe for some serious beach hazards you need to know about. It's tun to see big waves, just make sure you're in a safe place to watch. And there

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Every year around this time, I do a show about an enduring maritime tragedy: the sinking of the ore carrier Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior on Nov. 10, 1975. The incident, where the ship was lost in a storm and all hands perished, is emblematic of the risks all mariners take when they go to sea, and of the grief endured by their loved ones on land - waiting for those who never return home. Today and every year on the show, we honor those lost at sea by

The invention of the shipping container The presence of a large containership, outbound on the river today, offers a good opportunity to talk about the invention of a device that revolutionized the shipping industry: the now ubiquitous shipping container. This commonly seen metal cargo box, which made its debut on a ship 68 years ago, soon permanently changed how cargo was shipped worldwide.

An unexpected change of sea route means less stress for some sailors Today we take another look at the lives of sailors at sea, and talk about how some ships that formerly transited the Suez Canal are now taking a longer route around the southern tip of Africa, to avoid violent vessel attacks in the Red Sea. The result for diverted ships has been voyages that last about two weeks longer than before. The unexpected perk for sailors on board has turned out to be reduced stress, more job
