Floods Isolate Western Towns
Floods and avalanches cut off about six Pacific Northwest communities as rain continued. New snow slides disrupted rail travel in British Columbia and damaged lines, isolating Vancouver area and Crow's Nest Pass routes. Concrete Washington, the Skagit River railhead, faced isolation and road washouts while subsurban communities near Tacoma were cut off by a large earth slide. The Columbia River rose to flood stage as the heaviest rainfall in 50 years followed a Northwest storm. Oregon and Washington highways were blocked, forcing some families to flee amid worsening conditions.
