My favorite fishing spot got wiped out due to tall the flooding in 96, I'm still bummed about it. I miss that spot.

Thank you from a person who has lived in Salem her entire life. Loved the footage ❤️

heck of a lot of history admit not even close to being aware of ( thank you.) Wondering if anyone had historical knowledge of bar inn (?) located on the frontage rd just south of the overpass (turner address). Basement full of goodies two trout ponds & lots of old glass bottles among the brush. Clear sealed gallon jar of blood plasma found in the basement among the most creepy & curious ones. Recently swallowed up by the enchanted forest (house not blood) Most recently the valentine residence (my grandparents)

most children today have no idea what all they've missed out on. 🧡

Hey just wondering if you knew my dad Dave Green. He used to volunteer camera at cctv. There in Salem

salem oregon a snap shot of the people the city state offices pre 911 response pre covid response cars & streets pre suv craze pre mexicans pre soulless californians before The Party brought in hired hit ..'men' to pillage our natural resources & took control of the simple masses & molded their soft pointy little heads

Thanks for sharing. I was born in Salem '94, so only know this flood from the stories

🤔 WHAT? It doesn’t rain in Salem ?? 🤣lived there from 74 till 1989 if it’s sunny it rained if it snowed it rained spring summer fall it RAINED 1 day out of 2 weeks it rained .. that’s MILL CREEK BY THE WAY PRINGLE PARK!! 🤣 I went to parish junior high and north Salem !! Yep rain isn’t new

1948, 1964, 1996, today is 12-13-24, odds are we're due for another "soaker" sooner than later. '96 was freak weather, snow then temps got warmer with non-stop heavy rain for several days, way too much water for creeks, tributaries, and rivers to handle. Life in a NW rainforest.

I remember that flood. Corvallis was like an island. You couldn't get in or out.

My mom worked at Salem hospital when this happened. I remember one of the bridges over the creek was picked up moved like 10-15' and sat back down almost perfectly. We lived in Lyons up on the mountain I was just a kid but that flood was the coolest yet scariest and saddest thing that i had been thru. Our driveway was washed away, HUGE landslide on the back road coming from scio 😞 took the whole road out, mari-linn school flooded (as a kid i thought that was the best thing ever! lol) the amount of rain that the mountain got was insane. Our forest was flooded so was our pond our driveway was like a river. My grandparents and great grandmother lived in aumsville right above beaver creek on a 20 acre property about 40'ish above the top of the banks. Their 2 houses had wateer splashing at their foundations. All their property and their driveway was under hip deep water in the shallow spots and 7-8' in low spots. Fun times and core memories unlocked so thank you for sharing your video

Amazing memories. I hope you have more tapes to share. I grew up a couple miles from SAIF and worked at Salem Hospital for a while.

Just now seeing this, great footage. If you plan on covering the parade in the future it may be worth while to get in touch with Pearl Masonic lodge as they are the sponsors and the ones that set up and run the parade. I know they would love to hear from you.

We lived on Adobe and 49th during this flood. I remember a guy and his kid were floating in a canoe on 49th. Thanks for posting 🙂

Thank you for sharing this footage. I was 12 years old in Independence when all this happened, and we didn't get any photos or video of it. I remember it well though!

I live just off Ironwood near Johnson’s Creek. I pass 7th and Ironwood every day. I was in shock seeing the creek nearly top its banks. I was even more in shock at seeing the extent of flooding in downtown Salem. We currently have a family member who is a refugee from Helene in Asheville NC staying with us until she gets power, water and food. Your video was a further reminder of how fickle nature can be and how close it can come to touching us all.

I remember the kzr fire dpt evacuating my family in advance. We were told to go to higher ground. We went to my grandmothers in the Battle creek area. It was flooded there. Yet somehow my street in Keizer hardly had any water in the street 💦🤷 and we were less than a mile from the willamette 😅

Oh gimme a break. The Willamette Valley was basically flooded. We had all our rivers overflow their banks down here in Eugene/Springfield.

I remember this, cool to have this old footage.

I was living in Albany. We lived on a patch of high ground. We could not leave for 2 or 3 days I think it was. They had to test the roads after the water receded. The Willamette was impressive and frightening.

Oh dang I moved away for a couple of years to Newport, before heading back, and never got to see how bad the flooding was. I was 14 years 1 month old at this recording. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for sharing this footage, Mr. Boneck. This brought back some memories! I've lived in Salem my whole life, although during this storm I was going to college down at OSU. The flood happened in Corvallis also, and we were very close to being flooded ourselves in the house I stayed at. Houses just across the street, which were just slightly lower in elevation, were flooded through. I remember seeing sandbags everywhere. Felt like we were living in a soup kettle for a while. Just thankful it didn't flood our little house where we stayed. I seem to recall this particular storm was the combination of several things. I think there was a cold snap and some snow. And right on the heels of it, there was a pineapple express that warmed everything up, and a boatload of rain all at once. Everything warmed up in the mountains and came crashing down on the valley. With the ground frozen, I don't think much was absorbed (at least not at first), so more water was able to stack up, and like your videos show... made for quite a mess. Again - thank you for this footage. Things like this humble mankind in a hurry!

I brought my son to view pringle park. Looking toward hospital.

mind if i use this in a school project at my university? i will give credit etc

If you need more time to read the slides you may pause the video.

Thanks for posting this Dave. I had forgotten how bad it was. PS- Little did you know you were a TH-camr about 10 years before TH-cam even started. Nice. 🙂

Thank you, I appreciate you documenting this. I was born in Salem and I would’ve been about 13 when this happened, though I don’t have much recollection of it. I remember periods of heavy snow and heavy rain, but not this specifically. I lived in Northeast Salem and south Keizer for pretty much my whole childhood, so I am very familiar with the areas you were filming. Pretty cool to see.

Little Oregon Sunshine

Thanks for sharing! I remember that lake, and I also remember nicknaming it horsefly lake :). Good to see my mom again, and everyone else.

after watching, you do this David, I took four Tylenol, had a large meal, 2 gallons of water, and then went and took a nap. All I can say is unbelievable I have enjoyed all of your shows with great interest and thank you for caring for the people around you, much love Lyle 27:08

very cool thanks for sharing that salmon was a hog!

He should have pulled the net towards himself and pursed the net.

15:30 WOW!

I've only been in Oregon since 2019. Interesting to see

Even the dogs look bored.

Took me back big time. WOW.

es un honor para mi conocerlo saludos desde chile un fans de Costello

I am 75 and busy splitting rocks. I learned a lot from your videos Dave. Things like get the right drill and you can drill the hole in one shot.

I have a Chinese made SDS rotary hammer drill 1500W - 950 rpm and am trying to do the same exercise with granite rocks. To drill 5/8" holes for the wedge and feathers I have been starting with a smaller drill like a 3/8" then gradually going larger. However my problem is having the tips of the bit mushroom from overheating. I drill for say 20 sec. remove and put in water and do another 20 sec. I use DeWalt or Bosch bits but always end up with mushroomed drill bits. At times I see sparks emited from the hole as if I hit rebar. Don't know what I am doing wrong but I am going through bits like crazy and that is just trying to drill a few holes 4" deep to place the wedges. Any suggestions?

POV: you go to turner el

I was 16 when this happened and I remember driving with my dad and driving near downtown where we drove over one of the bridges that crossed Mill Creek and The water was cresting over the bridge. We were Luck though because where we lived off of South Liberty Rd it wasn't flooded at our house.

I was in Portland during this flood event. it was amazing to watch

Wow. I remember this! The National Guard kicked us out of our neighborhood off of Chemawa Rd. in Keizer for a week. Thankfully, our neighborhood never flooded, despite being right next to the Willamette.

in 1954 my dad brought a victor 16mm sound projector which I still have, I was born in 1954, in the 1960s myself & my 5-sisters would watch his music movies called "SOUNDIES" from the 1940s, he had 100s of these he splice together to create a 1-hour reel of film, these was at least 20-reels. He has the Soundies, Laurel & Hardy, Abbott & Costello, Spanky & The Gang, & Andy Panda Knotty Pine Cabin to name a few, all was in B&W. One of my favor all time movies was "No Indians Please", as a kid we knew the movie as "the car in the water".. My sisters & I can recite every word for word throughout the entire movie since we saw this movie, 1000 times due to we did not have a TV until 1966 when I was 12-yrs, we grew up watching these movies over & over from the 1950s to 1966... we still come together & act out the speaking parts word for word, what fond memories. All the film is gone to age but through TH-cam we can still act out the the voices...my only regret was at the end of the chase when Abbot tell Costello "Listen to me, take the turns I tell you to take" that part is missing (Which Was My Favorite Line to say) & they the scene goes to Dr. Ha-Ha's Sanitarium.. As a small kid I figured out the train scene was film with the train going in reverse, you can tell by the smoke going back into the smoke stack instead of coming out, you can tell by the white smoke going in not out... another scene I never figure out how they turn that car around as they did especially in 1942, but you do notice the driver is not Costello, he put his arm up to cover his face, if you were turning a car around that fast no one would do that, the same scene is done twice in the movie, another scene I never figure out was how did they make the car jump in the air, & my last was the crashing into the house pushing the bed, of course they are not going that fast, watch the horses, they are really going too fast for a horse where the scene was speed up to look as they were going really fast... I am 68yrs old & The one line I still use today was when Costello said he would not marry the most beautiful girl in the world, then he saw Sunbeam & said "I COULD BE WRONG" !!I love that line & still use it...Thank You for posting this wonderful classic movie & in color....If anyone knows how they did the bed scene I would really like to know.... I never saw the original movie "Ride Em Cowboys" I only seen this short "No Indians Please" .. After growing up watching these classics, I became a union projectionist at several movie theatres for 20-yrs at the age of 17 until I turn to the technical side of the projection & sound which was 35mm & 70mm film, I just retire from the cinema industry after 51-yrs.... BTW all cinema film projectors are gone, there is no 35/70mm film to show, all the movies at the cinemas is now video projection with encoded servers... Again thank you David for posting this classic..

Your bulldog Roto hammer is only 8 Amp. A 16 gauge power cord would be more than enough.

Great video thanks for uploading. I was six years old. Wild time!

Can we get another good rinse please??

64 was much worse

do the fish ever roll so you know where to fish?

I lived on liberty and shipping when this happened and I remember our basement was flooded out. It was crazy to me being only 11 years old when it happened.
