NEHALEM — High
water from heavy winds
and rains led to fl ooding and
closed streets in downtown
Nehalem Thursday.
Water in the Nehalem River
topped 19.68 feet, well beyond
the 9.28 feet forecast, Capt.
Jesse Walsh of Nehalem Bay
Fire and Rescue said. High tide
came at about 10:30 a.m.
“It came up quickly but it’s
receding at this time,” Walsh
said Thursday afternoon.
Walsh said power trucks
had been in the area but
there had been no sustained
outages.
“I heard somebody got
bogged down on one of the
roads, but they were able to
be towed out and get back on
the road,” he said.
Nehalem resident Dave

Nehalem. “Heavy rains make
for a swollen Nehalem River
which coupled with high tides
can lead to fl ooding,” Fisher
said.

foundations raised to avoid

“One exception was

said. “The building is old and
