MAPLETON, Ore. - The Siuslaw River hit flood stage at 10 p.m. Monday night, and water is expected to crest a half foot over flood stage around 4 a.m. Tuesday.
That means some low-lying areas in Mapleton - where residents aren't strangers to flooding - and properties along the Siuslaw will flood overnight.
The Siuslaw River was one of several western Oregon rivers under flood warnings after a day of intense rain.
Flood warnings were issued for the Alsea River near Tidewater, the Marys River near Philomath, the Luckiamute near Suver and the Siletz in Lincoln County.
So is half "food" a new term or are the efforts of the news team to double check your typing just too much to ask...my the person was just hungry.
OK more to the point. Streets are flooding because of debris stuck in the storm drains....then maybe just maybe the LEAVES SHOULD BE IN SACKS....WHAT DO YOU THINK? DUH!
I'm sure we could build dams to keep this from happening, but how many fish would die? It would be too heart breaking!
