It's Fall on the Coast |
Pictures of Flooding on Oregon Coast (published Nov. 2006)
(Nehalem, Oregon) – The Nehalem and Wilson rivers, on the north Oregon coast, have finally crested and are slowly falling. Officials say the Wilson River reached a record high. Still, the flooding has taken its toll on the area. As of late Tuesday night, Miami Foley Road near Garibaldi was still closed, and the Nehalem area was a serious mess of flooding. BeachConnection.net's Rachel Sipp, who took these photos, said power was going on and off at her home in Nehalem. Brian Hines, owner of San Dune Inn in Manzanita, said parts of the Nehalem Bay area were looking scary as he traveled between parts of Highway 53 and Manzanita. "It looks like if we get much more of the bay and the 'new' lakes just south of the Nehalem bridge, they'll merge across 101 into one huge body of water,” Hines said. “On the land side, the water was already lapping at the edge of the road - the same on 53 from 101 to the Nehalem Bay Winery.” Hines noted the closed roads even affected postal delivery and distribution of The Oregonian. “The mail truck didn't show up at the post office until 9.30 a.m.,” he said. “It’s usually about 7.45 a.m. And no Oregonian yet, so maybe they didn't get through.”
His motel also got filled with numerous refugees on Monday night. “We have one guest who has cancer of the lungs and liver and who is on oxygen, but the supply house in Tillamook can't get thru due to the flooding down there,” Hines said. “Luckily he has reserve capacity.” “Another construction guy just checked in and said a landslide closed Highway 53. He had to back up with his big rig trailer a mile or so just to find a driveway to turn around and head back to 26.” Hines said he had one couple check in who couldn’t make it out of the coastal region who also said Miami Foley Road was closed as well. One Manzanita woman has booked a room there because her basement is flooded, and the owner of the Big Wave Café just booked her cooks into the motel to make sure she can stay open. “Marcie from the Big Wave was just in and booked a room for her two cooks for tonight,” he said Monday night. “They didn't show up until 2 p.m. for work due to floods in Seaside, so they didn't start any cooking at the Wave until then. They don't want the same to happen tomorrow a.m.” Back to main Oregon coast storm story
