Lori Tobias, arguably one of the hardest-working journalists travelling the 363 miles of U.S. 101 between the Astoria-Megler bridge and the California border, will discuss her recently published memoir, âStorm Beat: A Journalist Reports from the Oregon Coast,â via a Zoom/Facebook Live presentation at 2 p.m., Saturday, May 15.
Hosted by the Cannon Beach Libraryâs Northwest Authors Series, Tobias will discuss her ten years as a correspondent and feature writer for the Oregonian who focused mostly on small-town events, boating disasters, accidents, murders, storms, drownings and 165-ton dock the Tohoku tsunami pushed onto Agate Beach, just north of Newport, on my 65th birthday in 2012.
