It’s raining again.
It rained a lot during the month of
November.
But tiie folk of the mld-Columbla,
during the pant 10 day«, have expressed
thanks that the heavy precipitation
wan- in the form of rain instead of
snow.
The total rainfall of Hood River val­
ley for November, according to the rec­
ord of Cooperative Weather Observer
J. II. Jeffrey, was 7.17 inches. Tlie
average rainfall of the month for the
past 30 years has been 5.77 inches.
The precipitation for the 10 days
ending November 30 was 4.80 Inches.
A record fall struck the Hood River
country last Sunday night and Monday
morning. During the 18 hours ending
at noon Monday rainfall of 1.75 inches
prevailed. Scores of local families re­
ported leaking roofs, and many base­
ments that had never shown moisture
before were being flooded. The earth
was soaked. ’
*
Numerous minor slides were reported
along the Columbia River highway;
and unpaved valley roads were badly
washed by the heavy continual down-
peur. The warm rain cleared from tlie
surrounding rangvsldes the blanket of
snow that had been lingering for a
week.
While Hood river was brought to
flood stage, no damage was reported
because of the depth of the canyon. At
Dee, however, the East Fork of Hood
river, reaching a record height for the
past five years, flooded the sawmill of
the Oregon Lumber Co., and crews bad
to Jack up machinery. The water en­
tered the Isiiler room. At Tuckers
bridge the volume of water roared
down the narrow canyon with a terri­
fying speed.
Had the precipitation that prevailed
from November 20 to 31) been in tlie
form of snow, the depth of the blanket
would have reached 48.0 inches.
