I knew it might be trouble when the rain at my house just kept falling for hours and hours. It was just 8 miles from my house in Denio on the fault scarp across from Continental Lake. The storm foot print was only 4-5 miles across. Erosin is the rockhounds friend, not the drivers. 2 vehicles were trapped and dug out later. No serious injuries. The road is opening back up today for interstate traffic. I've seen a flyover movie on a phone and I'll try to get the link added later. The governor is coming in for a field trip away from his lockdown.
