Rain, rain, more rain and flooding too


Julia told you about the snow. I will tell you about the rain and the floods. The rain rain rain came down down down. The fire station in Turner, where Daniel is a volunteer firefighter, was under water. They had to evacuate the whole town. Salem closed numerous streets because they had become rivers. I'm sure if you go online you can find more pictures and info. The water is receding but more rain is coming. Willamette Falls is officially at flood stage. Fortunately, the Molalla River and Johnson Creek have not reached flood level. We are not in danger but parts of Canby do flood when we get rains like this. Pat's Acres, where Amelia operated the Pineapple Express this summer, is now part of the Pudding River. I drove by it on my way home from work and it's a flowing river. We'll see what happens.
Here's the Turner Fire Station yesterday:

Wow, wow, wow! We did not get that much rain at all so it is a surprise to hear how much rain was by Salem. Wonder if Kathy and Linda have floated away.
