What the National Weather Service wrote

With heavy rain and high tides hitting the North Coast Saturday night, Oregon Department of Transportation officials closed Highway 101 two miles south of Seaside from 08:20 PST. The Necanicum River and Beerman Creek overflowed their banks which caused about 15 inches of water on highway 101.

The wider storm

A series of weather disturbances over the weekend brought sub-tropical moisture to the Pacific Northwest producing heavy rainfall over the region. The heavy rainfall combined with snowmelt runoff led to flooding on several rivers and streams in Northwest Oregon as well as landslides and debris flows.
