Find the latest infor- mation here: https:// alerts.weather.gov/cap/ or.php?x=1 Debris flows are rapidly moving, extremely destruc- tive landslides. They can contain boulders and logs transported in a fast-mov- ing soil and water slurry down steep hillsides and through narrow canyons. They can easily travel a mile or more.

A portion of sales from 4 Spirits’ bourbon whiskey is donated each quarter to sup- port local programs that help veterans and their families with reintegration support. On Sunday, Dec. 22, from noon to 3 p.m., the public is invited to stop by Twin Lakes Grocery and Liquor to try a sample of what 4 Spirits has to offer. “I support this distillery for many reasons, including the fact that they have started the first ever combat veter- an scholarship endowment at Oregon State University and that every bottle is com- memorative to the fallen heroes that served with the founder of the company,” said Vicki Ambrosio, owner of the Twin Lakes store. Twin Lakes Grocery and Liquor is located 3 miles north of Florence on High- way 101. For more info, visit www. TwinLakes.Store or call 541- 997-3021.

People, structures and roads located below steep slopes in canyons and near the mouths of canyons may be at serious risk. If your home, work, or route is in a watch area: • Stay alert. Track the flood watch by radio, TV, weather radio or online. If told to evacuate, do so im- mediately. • Listen. Unusual sounds might indicate moving de- bris, such as trees cracking or boulders knocking to- gether. A trickle of falling mud or debris may precede larger landslides. If you think there is danger of a landslide, leave immediate- ly. • Watch the water. If wa- ter in a stream or creek suddenly turns muddy or the amount of water flow- ing suddenly decreases or increases, this is a warn- ing that the flow has been affected upstream. You should immediately leave the area because a debris flow may soon be coming downstream. • Travel with extreme caution. Assume roads are not safe. Be alert when driv- ing, especially at night. Em- bankments along roadsides may fail, sending rock and debris onto the road. For more landslide and debris flow information: www.oregongeology.org/ Landslide/debrisflow.htm.
