Where is all that Oregon rain going Todd? Oregon City Falls, wait what falls?

In 2008, I took this picture of the Oregon City Falls and it shows what the falls normally look like, but yesterday that is not what the falls looked like. The fact is they looked more like a ripple in a fast moving river because the Willamette River was at flood stages and was moving real fast!

Now, below is the picture from yesterday and as you can see, there is a major difference between the picture from 2008 and the one I just took. With all the snow runoff we are getting along with the inches upon inches of rain, it has equaled a lot of flooding in the area.

So, if you see water going across the street, please don’t try to drive through it, we have already lost a couple lives and I don’t want to see any more.
