The Wilson River near Tillamook crested at 22.8 feet on November 7th, with flood stage at 12.0 feet and major flood stage at 19.0 feet. This set a record flood stage for the gauge, and caused major flooding problems for the city of Tillamook, down river from the gauge.
The wider storm
Several days of nearly non-stop weather systems brought copious amounts of rainfall to northwest Oregon. With moderate temperatures in place, very close to all of this rainfall became run-off, and many rivers over the area swelled in response. Many rivers reached and maintained flood stage for a couple days.
One river in particular, the Wilson River near Tillamook, recorded record flooding. This river's flood stage is 12.0 feet, and the river crested at 22.8 feet (38,500 cfs), well above major flood stage. The town of Tillamook, downstream from this gauge, was underwater for several days after the crest.
