2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2015 Wet weather, winds sweep across North Coast Flooding may trigger land movement ‘What do you think about putting portable toilets on the Riverwalk for the homeless?’ “I don’t think it should be portable toilets. It should be regular public bathrooms like at the Doughboy and across from the YMCA. Keep the regular system we already have in place, of public bathrooms, and keep up with cleaning them, instead of getting more bathrooms to clean.” Rose Foss, Astoria “I think it’s a ¿ ne idea. I think it’s humane for those who have nowhere to go.” Dan Stein, Astoria “I think as long as they make a commitment to maintain them, that’s ¿ ne. A lot of people would bene¿ t, not Must the homeless.” Jim Capellen, Astoria By KYLE SPURR The Daily Astorian 6trong winds and rain Tues- day caused small landslides, downed trees that blocked roadways and power outages across Clatsop County.

They can transport boulders and logs in a fast-moving soil and water slurry. People, structures and roads below steep slopes in canyons, and near the mouths of can- yons, may be at serious risk. Great American 6mokeout nears Free kits to encourage people to quit smoking will be avail- able Thursday during the Great American 6mokeout.

Strong winds and rain caused several trees and power lines along Highway 30 and U.S. Highway 26 to fall throughout the day. Medical costs associated with tobacco use in Clatsop County are estimated at mil- lion annually. Cigarette smoking among adults in Clatsop County percent, is higher than the rest of Oregon, percent. Tobacco use remains the No. preventable cause of death and disease in the 8.6., the Centers for Disease Control and Preven- tion reports. The health bene¿ ts of quitting start immediately. 6tatistics show the chance of heart attack decreases, blood À ow improves and the risk of cancer decreases. Quit kits, containing quit tips, a straw, paper clip, hard candy and more, will be dis- persed at various locations in Clatsop County, including some coffee shops, The Harbor, Co- lumbia Memorial Hospital and Providence 6easide Hospital.
