episode_narrativeDuring the week of February 3rd through the 10th, a river of subtropical atmospheric moisture flowed above northern Oregon. Weather disturbances within this flow produced very heavy rainfall, particularly in the northwestern part of the state. The most intense rainfall occurred from the 6th through the 8th. In this 3 day period Portland recieved 5.92 inches of rain, Eugene 8.16 inches, Salem 6.01 inches and Astoria 7.68 inches. Numerous mudslides were triggered, disrupting transportation in mountainous areas of western Oregon and in the Northeast Mountains. One man was killed when a mudslide knocked a tree down onto his car in the town of Philomath. Interstate 84 was cut by a mudslide near Hood River and in the Northeast Mountains, the town of Troy was cut off from the outside world from mudslide and sinkhole damage to all of the roads into the town.
