What the National Weather Service wrote
Anomalous high tides and large surf prevented flooded rivers to recede between rain events on December 7th and 8th, and contributed to coastal flooding across Tillamook County. The Nehalem River near Foss and the Wilson River near Tillamook crested above major flood stage. The Track river near Tillamook exceeded flood stage. Several homes and roads were flooded included highway 101 and highway 22. Miami Foley Rd in Garibaldi was also closed. Heavy rain also resulted in several land slides in the area. A Fish Hatchery was over topped in Tillamook county with minimal fish loss.
