Massive waves expected in Coos Bay, power rates surge in northern California, and local debates over a baseball park and Flock cameras

A powerful Pacific storm is driving extreme ocean swells toward the Oregon coast, with waves expected to reach 30 to 35 feet. While land winds remained relatively light around Coos Bay, offshore gusts reached 60 mph, creating hazardous beach inundation and severe erosion risks. A high wave warning remains active through Monday morning. The Coast Guard restricted traffic across the Coos Bay Bar and warned that 30-foot seas exceed lifeboat operating limits, leaving helicopter crews from Air Station North Bend as the sole search-and-rescue asset.

The Tiny Southern Oregon Coast Restaurant Where Waves Practically Splash Your Table

Port Orford is the kind of town many drivers zip past on Highway 101 without a second thought. That is a mistake, because one small dining room here sits so close to the Pacific that the ocean feels like part of the decor. Couples drive an hour or more just for a window table, and road trippers heading between Seattle and San Francisco have been known to pull over and rearrange their whole evening around it.

Coos Bay woman loses 88.4 pounds through local non-profit, named 2025 division winner

Losing weight can seem intimidating, especially when you consider that more than 1 in 3 American adults is obese, and Oregon has an obesity rate of 33.5%. Obesity can cause an array of medical conditions, including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. People can achieve weight loss and overall wellness by committing to a healthier lifestyle. For instance, Sheila Nesbit of Coos Bay lost 88.4 pounds in 2025 through the non-profit Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS ), a non-commercial weight-loss, education, and support organization. As a result of her weight loss, Nesbit was recognized by the organization as a Division-2 second-place winner. The Division-2 category is for an adult member whose starting weight was at least 250 pounds but less than 300 pounds. “Over the years, I have been in and out of different TOPS chapters. When I first started with TOPS, I never thought becoming a KOPS was within my grasp. I had way too much weight to lose,” wrote Nesbit. “I reached my highest weight in 2019 of almost 400 pounds. My health was beginning to be affected due to my obesity. In 2024, I was in a wheelchair and using a walker.
