'48 flooding in Moses Coulee




This photographter was standing on bridge #3 when he snapped these pictures while the water was still high. My grandma told me in the summer of 1948, Douglas county received a couple inches of rain in a couple of hours causing a massive flood. Everyone refers it as the '48 flood. Must have been a sight to see.

There was serious flooding all over that year. Large section of housing was swept away near Portland because a levee broke on the Columbia.

Neato shots!
