The National Weather
Service has issued flood
watches for portions of
Northwest Oregon and
Southwest Washington, in-
cluding the Central Oregon
Coast, Central Willamette
Valley and Coast Range
through Sunday, Dec. 22.
Heavy rain can trigger
landslides and debris flows
in steep terrain, and the risk
is higher in burn areas.

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 debris flow
...so much more than a kitchen store!

Twin Lakes Grocery &
Liquor is inviting the public
to taste the offerings from
Oregon distillery 4 Spirits
Distillery, located in Corval-
lis. 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.

moves faster than a person
can run. 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.
