FLOODING AGAIN

- Living in southern coastal Oregon, flooding is not uncommon! In fact, it's normally an annual occurrence!
Towns, houses, and barns are built above flood level or on stilts. Farmers know when to move their livestock from their pastures to high ground.
Certain roads are seasonal, and our community learns to know what roads will be open or flooded, and at what water level.....And we all learn when to stay home.
Local businesses know calling in "flooded out" like they do "calling in sick."
...But sometimes things don't go according to expectations, and today things got a little more serious-a lot faster than I expected!
Even after a decade of living here and watching and calculating the speeds and heights of our river, from what rain amounts today, it surprised me!
Stay safe!
