looks like the Siuslaw will crest about 15' today and might get down below 10' by the weekend...

Wilson ended up hitting 20.5 feet. Massive flooding in Tillimook, Hwy6 shut down, Hwy 101 Shut down N. or town and a sink hole on Hwy 22. Which is a bummer cause thats how I get there now.

Nothing like finding a bloated one floating in tidewater... good times, good smells.

Just read on FB that Hwy 6 is sinking @ MP 35. 6" cracks with a section of the road dropped 1 foot

Hope this does not come as insensitive to the folks hit by the flood, I grew up a few miles from the river Brahmaputra in India and have experienced annual floods first hand, know the horrors. Brahmaputra is about 3 times as big as the Columbia if you trust the discharge comparison in Wikipedia, and floods huge swaths of land every monsoon season, in China, Indian and Bangladesh.

I was showing these pics to my 5 year old, she asked me if there are fish in the houses now. Now, back home when the flood waters recede; our deep ponds usually end up with a few nice river fish. At least it used to be the case when I was living there, 20+ years ago. Just don't have as many fish around as we used to do.

I wonder if salmon and steelheads get stranded too. Any stories anyone?
