  • The only place I've ever seen waterfront problems in CVO is by the old Michael's restaurant and the old boat launch. I don't think the new area of CVO waterfront would ever have any issues, it's much higher there on the seawal
  • Okay, had to check. I heard somewhere say something about the Willamette rising. But hadn't heard any news.
  • @H@Jesuschild. I work downtown and right now there is no need for concern.
  • Water should spill over the east bank of the Willamette before it has the chance to flood downtown Corvallis. There used to be a town on the east bank called Mary'sville. It was wiped out in a flood back in the late 1800's.
  • @ S: good luck i would try to stay on freeway and take hwy34 home.. i wouldnt trust back roads. most are flooded.
  • I can't believe that LBCC is not canceling evening classes. They are putting students at risk!
  • GMan, thanks cuz I'm getting no response for this area since 9 am and my fam is stubborn!
  • Jesusschild2 - I work in Corvallis, I had lunch at American Dream one block from the waterfront and there really isn't much flooding downtown at all right now. The rain has decided to give us a break for a while and surface street water seems to be receding - as for the Willamette .... it seems to be holding its own so far here
  • Perhaps maybe post the links to area road closure status pages (Albany, Corvallis, Linn, Benton) above the live blog block? Just a suggestion.
  • RT @audgomez: Hwy 34 from Corvallis to Albany was all clear at 1:40 p.m.
  • @ Elizabeth what street is family on,i could give you some info on the area, also City Hall is 503.394.3342 call them for info.
  • Also of interest for those concerned about the Willamette near Corvallis is the NOAA monitoring website. Looks like minor flooding by early Friday afternoon (golf course area?) but nothing that should effect downtown.
  • Some of the road closures are not being listed on the Linn county website. May of them in the foothills above Lebanon.
  • Mary's River as it flows through south town hasn't crested yet, FYI - it's high and fast-moving tho!
  • Anyone know if any places in Corvallis need volunteers to fill sand bags?
  • Brooklane Dr in Corvallis is closed. Didn't see that updated on the city website.
  • AM--if you don't feel safe, don't go! I would feel safe since LB itself is a high building, but if you don't feel safe go with that feeling
  • Marys River expected to stay above flood stage through Friday: ow.ly
  • Up until 6 p.m. tonight, Heartland Humane Society is offering 24 hours of refuge to pets whose owners are coping with flooding issues. Shelter operators ask that people call 541-752-9833 before bringing pets to the shelter at 398 S.W. Twin Oaks Circle, so they can prepare.
  • @ downtown scio they are on albany lyons hwy between main st and franklin butte.
  • I had class last night at LB and the back parking lot/side lawn was flooded, but everywhere else was a okay. The buildings are high up compared to the parking lots.
  • Today at noon, Benton County Commissioner Jay Dixon signed a declaration of local emergency/disaster for the unincorporated areas of Benton County. Corvallis City Manager Jim Patterson also declared an emergency within the corporate limits of the City of Corvallis.
  • Also, Benton County Fairgrounds is boarding ANY animals that need relocated for FREE
  • CV juniors Ericka Dodge , left, and Maddie Kobold at flooded Williams Field in Corvallis.

  • The water has definitely receded here - fields are emptying. Hopefully that is a good sign.
  • PM Bus routes will be avoiding high water areas. Parents of students in the Lacomb and Hamilton Creek areas are encouraged to pick up their students are soon as possible. PM bus routes may be modified due to road conditions. Buses unable to deliver students due to road conditions will be returned to the school and parents notified.
    Lebanon High School all evening events and activities canceled. Athletics, drama and College Info Event.
  • has anyone hear anything about landslides?
  • @ Elizabeth, only thing i have on that area is it was the last place with high water on roadway, cant help more. call city hall or Fire dept, they know.503.394.3000
  • @downtown scio they are more towards franklin butte though
  • @downtown scio okie doke thank you
  • Has anybody heard anything about the bridge in brownsville. Or the Hwy from Albany to lebanon?
  • Here's news about a water rescue in the Jefferson area, from the Jefferson Fire District
    Fire District:
  • From the Jefferson Fire District:
    During a routine road check to known areas of possible flooding, Assistant Chief Scott Shepherd and Captain Ryan Campbell went to check Densmore Road and Helms Drive. They could only go so far when he realized the road was completely impassable with a vehicle. He knew of several homes in the area. He then met up with Eric Pond who could'nt drive out to his home because of the high water. His wife Laura, son Elliott, daughter Rose, friend Emily and two dogs were trapped. At 10:56 a.m. Jefferson Fire District Water and Rescue Team were dispatched to 35821 Helms Drive. There was also a house at 38360 with three other adults that were stranded.

    Jefferson Fire Water and Rescue Team were able to rescue all six individuals that were trapped. The Pond Family is staying at a hotel in Albany. The other individuals will be staying with family and friends. There were three other households that chose to stay.
