| Notes | This article describes heavy flooding in Lincoln County, Oregon in the winter of 1964/1965. “The Siletz River early Friday reached a crest more than six feet higher than the Christmas week flood crest… Taft, Nelscott, DeLake and Toledo faced critical water shortages because of flooded pumping stations and broken water mains… Scores of docks and boats and several homes, barns and trailer houses were swept to sea in the rampaging Siletz floodwater.” Highways 20 and 101 were closed due to landslides, and Highway 18 was the only link between Lincoln County and the Willamette Valley. |
