Flood hits Portland area as dike breach floods six miles
Flood waters from a break in the Columbia slough dike north of Portland inundated six miles of lowland homes and country clubs and threatened Troutdale's Reynolds aluminum plant and possibly the Richland atomic plant. Army engineers built a cross dike west of Troutdale, sandbags were flown into Richland, and evacuees left the flood zone. No casualties reported as authorities guard critical sites and prep for potential air inspections.
