RE: [Paddlewise] Local Forecast

Our sympathy to all the friends in Oregon. Lets pray and hope for the best
and fast recovery of water level, so that reconstruction can begin.

Any help, any suggestions of solidarity, let us know.

Best Regards,

   It now appears that highways 6, 18, 26, 30 from Portland to the
northwest Oregon coast are all closed, effectively cutting off that
corner of Oregon from the rest of the state. Wilson River is 10 feet
above flood stage. People are hunkered down in the casino at Lincoln
City. The casino has generator power for three days. Seventy foot waves
were reported at sea, but can't verify. The largest Sitka spruce in
Oregon, in Kloochy Creek Park, estimated to be about 750 years old,
has snapped in half. No word from Dave in Astoria...I presume no power.
