Oh yeah this one was ugly but the year of the big wind storm we had the river at flood stage and the wind held the tide for nearly 3 hours at high slack! Water was about 1 inch from going in the house. It is all about flows and tide here. Up river it is flows and how much rain and how fast it comes down in how many hours. Above Monte if the tribs and Chehalis are at normal flood stage and you get 4 inches in four hours you get a hundred year flood. When the Satsop went nuts in 05 ( could have the wrong year ) it was at flood stage and we got 4 inches from 8 to midnight followed by 4 inches 1 to to five AM highest I have seen and they called it a thousand year flood. In the 1930's Eldon said they had two feet of snow when he went to bed and around midnight it just dumped . When he got up in the morning no snow , 50 degrees and the water was in his barn which had never happened before. Eldon's place is on the straight stretch after your drop down the hill at the past the old Schafer Game Farm. Got the road he said.
