Northwest Floods Strike Washington and Oregon
A carpet of flood waters covered southwest Washington and northern Oregon forcing about 3000 people to flee. Sheriff Morrissette called it potentially the worst flooding since the 1930s as at least three deaths were reported in Washington and two in Oregon. Bodies were found in flood waters, and a car swamped on I-5 south of Centralia contributed to the toll while another man drowned in his car north of Tacoma.
