What happened in Portland during this last set of storms? Any flooding like up here in WA?

Apologies, but the local news is so inundated (rightfully) with the local flooding that there probably wasn't any news-space for other news. (?)

Hopefully you escaped it all.

We fared Okay.
localized high water and some mudslides in the hills, nothing near as bad as what went on up with you guys.
My girlfriend is in Oly and kept giving me updates on everything. It seems news didnt travel outwards as much as it did last year.

Hope you're staying dry.

Good to hear. My house is dry, knock on wood. Before that, my pipes didn't freeze, knock on wood.

I saw that slides were in Lake Oswego? How did Hillsburo come out? I know it's nice for riding out there.....

I'm glad you're OK. So many thousands were evacuated. We're a bit North of you all, OK but soggy. A tree fell over the driveway and another was leaning dangerously over the garage. We cleared those out.
