Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA wet spring season continued for the Inland Northwest during the last week of May as another, wet storm system moved through the region producing in the neighborhood of half to one and a half inches of liquid precipitation over Northern Washington May 25-26th. Many basins were already swollen from wet conditions and excessive snowmelt earlier in the month and soils were very saturated and unstable in some locations. As a result, rivers, small streams, and creeks continued to rise near bankfull to above flood stages. Additionally, several landslides occurred in the Okanogan National Forest.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeSeveral landslides occurred in the Okanogan National Forest within the War, Scaffold, and Eagle creeks area of the Twisp River. The largest slide was along the War Creek Ridge which inundated about 100 yards of the Forest Service Road leading to the War Creek Trailhead. A survey done from a helicopter shortly after the slide indicated two long channels, which was estimated to be some 30 feet deep. The time of the slide is estimated based on reports.
