Area Mudslide & Floods

8:30pm last night Alan, the kids, & I drove home from a Christmas Party and were on this very spot of the very WET hwy 26. Two hours later it looked like this:

Then you have Welches Rd. also closed now due to the Salmon River. We pray that our friends & neighbors in these flooding areas are kept safe & damage to a minimum.

My pa was busy into the late night hours last night sandbagging in Estacada, our hometown, where the Wade Creek literally took over parts of the town with it's waters. The brand new public library is under a foot of water now, and the Clackamas River is at breaching flood levels in town as well. My friend also said the high school parking lot is flooded with logs drifting up to the front doors.

Well this Winter is definitely an active one! We received another 9 inches of snow last night and I am heading to the local store now to stock up on essentials - milk, tp, bread etc., We have also been experiencing power outages.

If there is anything our family can do to help others please contact us. We have 4WD and wood heat source. We dont lose our water or heat in the outages. Please call us 503-622-1275. Thanks!
