| Notes | "Heavy rains and warm weather caused severe floods between December 21-23 and again on December 26. Floods were most severe in southwestern Oregon, where discharges were record high, and northwestern Oregon, where discharges were of record or near-record magnitude. Other floods occurred about January 4, 15, and 22, some of which were in eastern Oregon in areas which had largely escaped the floods of December." (p.1) |
