The last few days have brought snow, a warming trend and lots of rain. Getting to and from work yesterday was a bit nerve-wracking with water over many roads, and creeks rising quickly. This morning the call came at 5:20 that school was closed. There was no safe route to the school.
Roads have been closed near my parents' house. Luckily we're all safe and sound. Others are no so lucky. Nearby towns of Turner and Scio have been evacuated. The governor has declared a state of emergency for Marion, Benton, Coos and Lincoln counties. And last night in Albany a car was swept into Periwinkle Creek resulting in the death of a young mother and her infant. It's been quite a day.
