ODOT has closed the East Historic Columbia River Hwy from Larch Mountain Road to Bridal Veil due to high winds and the potential tree danger in the burn zone.
The east winds have already caused trees to fall along Corbett Hill Road and soon after 11 PM, Multnomah County Sheriff's Office along with Corbett Fire, responded to East Knieriem Rd on a report of a tree into a house. A 65 year old female was injured when a branch impaled her. She has been transported to a local hospital.
