Widespread damage reported as storm, high tides blow through city BY ROGER GITLIN For The Triplicate

A strong winter storm brought huge king tides and 60-70 mph winds to Crescent City last week, wreaking havoc from Battery Point to the Harbor. Lots of trees and signs, including the iconic Welcome to Crescent City signage at the S Curve and Point of Honor fell victim to the storm. Sheriff deputies and search and rescue volunteers vigilantly prevented access to the Jetty. The Chart Room parking lot and Anchor Way were closed during the height of high tide. Also assisting in public safety were the California Highway Patrol, Cal Trans, county roads staff and the Harbor Commission. The Chartroom opened for business Thursday afternoon.
