| Notes | This article describes effects of 1931 floods across Oregon, from bridge washouts to highway closures, including a logjam against a drawbridge on the coast highway near the mouth of the Siletz River. Interestingly, in 1931 Tillamook Bay recovered quickly from flooding. “Flood waters quickly passed off the Tillamook district due to the fact that five streams entering the bay there are small and the ocean is large, quickly absorbing the surplus.” |
