What the National Weather Service wrote

Heavy rains over the Willapa Hills drained into the Grays River, raising the river out of it's banks. This combined with high tides brought flooding to areas in Wahkiakum county, especially around the town of Rosburg. Flooding in the area closed local roads as well as some evacuations of people from their homes.
