Coastal Flood in Northern Oregon Coast, Oregon
Coastal Flood December 10, 2015 – December 11, 2015 · Northern Oregon Coast, Oregon
What the National Weather Service wrote
Anomalous high tides and large surf prevented flooded rivers to recede between rain events, and contributed to coastal flooding across the North Oregon coast. Water from high surf entered several rooms of the Surfsand Hotel in Cannon Beach as well as blew out some of the windows. The high surf littered debris on the beach in Neskowin up to the rock barrier. An assisted living facility in Tillamook was evacuated. Highway 101 at Wheeler was closed due to flood damage and a road collapse. Bay Ocean Rd was washed out between Tillamook and Cape Mears. The port of Columbia River in Astoria was closed as well as the port at Tillamook Bay in Garibaldi. The Nehalem River near Foss remained above flood stage.
