| Notes | Published Nov.28, 1909In November 18-24, 1909 some parts of the coast received 10-20 inches of rain, and valleys further inland got 4-6 inches. The resulting flooding stranded the Governor of Oregon in Gardiner. "It is gathered from the telegram that the floods have carried out several small wagon bridges between Scottsburg and Drain, the nearest point where the Governor can reach the railroad, and that he and party will have to remain at Gardiner until the water lowers so the streams can be forded or until the missing bridges can be replaced." |
