Tillamook County Faces Devastating Flood Damage and Urgent Infrastructure Repairs
Tillamook County in Oregon experienced its highest flood levels in over six years, causing at least $2.5 million in damages to local roads. The heavy rainfall resulted in coastal highways being swamped, county roads being washed out, and drivers being trapped in floodwater. The flooding was not as severe as previous flood seasons, but significant infrastructure damage occurred. With one road currently impassable, Highway 101 is the only direct route between Tillamook and the rest of the North Coast. The county is working to install a permanent bridge to ensure connectivity along the damaged road.
