more stable environment and weakened as it continued inland. A second tornado, also originating as a waterspout, was confirmed in Oceanside— south of Manzanita—around 9:00 a.m. PDT (16:00 UTC) and dissipated without causing damage. With two confirmed tornadoes, the October 14, 2016, event marked the first time since November 12, 1991, that more than one tornado touched down in a single day in Northwest Oregon. Furthermore, the Manzanita tornado was only the fifth tornado in Tillamook County since reliable records began in 1950. Impact and aftermath Although a short-lived tornado, the storm tracked directly through Manzanita and inflicted widespread damage. Assessments by the Tillamook County Sheriff and National Weather Service showed that 128 of the city's 600 homes sustained varying damage. Some homes had their windows blown out. Two businesses were destroyed and one home was rendered uninhabitable; multiple structures lost their roof. One home was shifted off its cinderblock foundation. Approximately one-third of the trees in Manzanita were downed or otherwise damaged. Damage in the city amounted to $1 million. The tornado and thunderstorm left 500 of the city's residents without power; 2,500 people suffered power outages across Tillamook County from the storms as a whole.

A public shelter was temporarily opened at the Calvary Bible Church by the American Red Cross for displaced residents, and volunteers from the relief group arrived to provide aid. However, residents were initially advised to shelter in place due to continued inclement weather. Additionally, 35 members of the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay traveled to the city to help direct traffic and provide any assistance requested of them. The group opened two emergency shelters and provided food to residents and emergency officials. As a precautionary measure, volunteer firefighters were called in and an extra ambulance was provided by Tillamook County to the city. Soon after the tornado, another powerful storm system—associated with the remnants of Typhoon Songda—impacted the region, forcing residents to make quick, temporary repairs and delaying clean-up efforts until October 16. Heavy machinery, including snowplows, was brought in to clear roads, with assistance from local contractors. State and local officials asked people to avoid the damaged area for three days after the tornado. Residents of Manzanita, a tourism-driven community, banded together to establish a relief fund for affected home and business owners. In the months following the
