Description
Tillamook Rock Light, also known as Terrible Tilly or Tillamook Head Lighthouse is a deactivated lighthouse on the Oregon Coast of the United States. It is located approximately 1.2 miles offshore from Tillamook Head. It sits on less than an acre of basalt rock in the Pacific Ocean. The construction of the lighthouse began in 1880. The construction took nearly 2 years to finish on January 21, 1881.
Because of erratic weather conditions, and the dangerous commute for both keepers and suppliers,the lighthouse was nicknamed "Terrible Tilly". Over the years, storms have damaged the lighthouse, shattered the lens, and eroded the rock until it was decommissioned in 1957, and has since been sold to private owners. The light is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and is part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. It is visible from the coastal cities of Seaside, Cannon Beach, as well as from Ecola State Park.
On this day there was not only a winter storm going on but also a King Tide. Waves were estimated to be 30 to 40 feet. The waves were going over banks and sweeping in to the streets of Cannon Beach.
