The fire hose of rain is aimed south of us in Clatsop County this time, but meteorologists predict we are looking at about and inch and half in Astoria, and 3 inches or more Tillamook and points south.
The big deal right now is a matter of time, rain and its long term effect on soils. It’s been raining for awhile now and we are seeing the effects of saturated soils on trees, roadbeds and power lines. I read an interesting piece about how the more soaked the ground gets, the less wind it takes to know down a tree. And we are seeing older roadbeds collapse and landslides claim land and dover roads. So be careful out there – things in the landscape may not be the way you last saw them when you next venture out.
