If anyone is in Southtown Corvallis and doesn't want to be stuck there, I would recommend getting out of there tonight. In '96 I lived in South Corvallis and 3rd street turned into a huge river overnight. The street literally became a river. We became cut off and stuck there. I lived on South Corvallis Island for three days before I was able to get off the island. At no time was there a mandatory evacuation order for the area. Don't wait for the order to leave if you don't want to end up being stuck there. There wasn't much for us on South Corvallis Island. Just one little convience store and they sold out of everything within like an hour.

Officials stand by to evacuate NE Corvallis neighborhood

By BENNETT HALL
Corvallis Gazette-Times

Buses were standing by to evacuate residents of the neighborhood around Cheldelin Middle School Thursday as the rains continued to fall and creeks continued to rise.

Corvallis police blocked off a stretch of Northeast Conifer Boulevard between Cambridge Avenue and Canterbury Circle, and several vehicles from Dial-A-Bus were on the scene to ferry people displaced by local flooding to a temporary shelter at Crescent Valley High School. Several residential streets in the area were blocked by two to four feet of water, but as of late morning no one had actually been evacuated yet.
“We’re here to help people if they want to go,” said Sgt. Michael Mann of the Corvallis Police Department, who was monitoring the situation from a roadblock at Conifer and Cambridge.

“We haven’t told people they need to leave, and nobody’s gotten on the bus.”
At Corvallis Manor, a 120-bed nursing home at 160 N.E. Conifer, the staff was anxiously keeping an eye on floodwaters that had swamped Cambridge Avenue and were creeping toward the facility’s side door.

Sandbags were being piled in front of the nursing home’s east entrance, and some residents were moved toward the drier end of the building.
“Some of the residents have been moved to other rooms,” said Barbara Lower of Pinnacle Health Care, the company that runs the nursing home. “Just as a precautionary measure, to make sure if the water does come up we’re not having to hurry.”
