PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A big storm on the last weekend of the month
helped make for the wettest September on record in many parts of Oregon.
The National Weather Service reports the 6.21 inches recorded through Sunday
in downtown Portland was the most since record-keeping began in 1872.
The Oregon coast received (Astoria) 10.51 inches
Fortunately, this rainfall came at the end of summer with little snow in the mountains.
But still... the run-off is now hitting the coastal and Willamette Valley rivers.
Look out Kansas... it's heading east !
