FLOODING: Pacific Northwest
The Pacific Northwest braced for flooding Monday after heavy rains and rising waters caused landslides and closed roads, authorities said. "We have a mess on our hands," Dave Thompson with the Oregon Department of Transportation said Sunday. Thompson said landslides had closed the Wilson River Highway, which stretches from Portland to the coast. The rain is also a problem in cities, according to Thompson, who said it was causing urban flooding. Flood watches and warnings are posted for portions of Oregon and Washington, according to the National Weather Service, which is predicting more rain for the region. The winter storm killed at least one person in Washington, where CNN affiliate KIRO reported that a falling tree killed a transportation worker Sunday. In Falls City, crews pulled a husband, wife and dog from rising floodwaters after the family got caught while trying to save their pet. |
