Floods, mudslides reign
United Press International
Coast-to-coast thunderstorms
broke the winter freeze Wednes
day and a second wave of sea
borne squalls rolled toward the
Pacific Northwest, where three
days of floods and mudslides
wrecked businesses, cut off ma
jor roads and killed as many as
six people.
Eight others died Tuesday
night when a twin-engine plane
crashed and burned while trying
to land in heavy fog and drizzle
in Lebanon, Ky. — in the middle
of a band of fog from southern
Iowa to the Atlantic Ocean.
Storms lashing the Northwest
since Sunday have left three
people dead and three others
missing and presumed dead.
More than 9 inches of rain inun
dated northern California and
Oregon, and Washington had 8-
inch accumulations before the
storms moved into Nevada early
Tuesday.
“Ranches at Big Flat are sur
rounded by water, and produc
tion at our cheese factory has
been shut down. The Eagles’
building was hit the worst; ceil
ings there are leaking water
from the melting snow and a lot
of walls are water-soaked.”
In California, three people
were swept away and apparently
drowned in swollen waters of
Deer Creek and the South Fork
of the American River.
Rescue teams in Washington
were unable to locate the body of
Bobby Johnson of Oakville who
disappeared with his earth mov
er Sunday in a mudslide along
the Chehalis River. Other vic
tims were a cross-country skier,
who died in an avalanche in
northeast Oregon, and a woman
motorist whose car slipped into
Oregon’s Coquille River.
Six members of a mountain
search team were rescued in
Atlanta, Idaho, Tuesday after
being trapped by two avalanches
that sealed off their escape route
in the remote Sawtooth National
Wilderness Area.
The rescue team had been
trying to reach two motorists
stranded by heavy snow. The
motorists were found un
harmed and airlifted to safety.
The Pacific storms unleashed
minor mudslides in the San
Francisco area, where residents
were still stinging from a Janu
ary deluge that killed 37 people.
Mudslides and toppled trees dis
rupted auto traffic and tele
phone communications.
“It looks like we’ve survived
another one,” a Sonoma Coun
ty, Calif., sheriffs spokeswoman
said.
Another potential storm was
expected to hit the Washington
and Oregon coastlines by tos
and northern Californianolu
than Friday. Up to 8 inches
snow was forecast for the non
ern Colorado mountains,
