Flood and Landslide Warnings Issued for Western and Coastal Oregon

Robert Lawton

From wind to avalanche warnings, all sorts of weather advisories have been issued throughout Oregon today.

Western and coastal Oregon should watch out for flooding. The National Weather Service’s David Bishop says people need to pay attention to water around them.
“One of the key things that we stress is if you see water especially if it’s covering a road to turn around, don’t drown.”

There is also an increased risk of landslides. The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries says because of back to back storms and record rain fall, the soil may not have had a chance to drain. Signs of landslides include newly formed cracks in the ground or in house foundations, leaning trees and rocks in the road. If there is reason to believe the ground around you is moving, it is advised to leave the area immediately.
