Rapid snow melt combined with Saturday's steady rainfall bloated rivers across Oregon and Southwest Washington, in some instances running over their banks and forcing the National Weather Service to issue a flood watch in more than a dozen counties. In Seaside near the Necanicum River, at the Oregon Coast, 10 inches of standing water crowded drivers on Highway 101 into one lane late Saturday, with Department of Transportation officials directing traffic onsite.

Boy, you sure are on top of the events, McGee, we would have never known about this if you hadn't cut-and-pasted it here. Good boy, good boy. Cut-and-paste a paper badge for yourself.
Good boy.
