| Notes | "Continued rains through most of October 1950, culminating in heavy rains October 27-30, caused the streams of southwestern Oregon and northwestern California to rise rapidly to high peaks... The flood was caused almost entirely by rainfall... [O]n the lower Umpqua River the peak was the greatest since the beginning of records inOctober 1905, and probably the greatest since 1861."
