Oregon Town Buried Under 7 Feet Of Snow
Town Runs Out Of Money For Snow Removal
A tiny town in western Oregon is trapped under more than seven feet of snow.
Covered rooftops, buried street signs and downed power lines have the city of 200 "on edge," said Idanha Mayor Karen Clark.
"As long as you have the snow piling up to the roofs, and no place for it to go, then that's when their ceilings and roofs are going to cave in on these people," Clark said.
Southern Oregon highways closed
Sections of Oregon Highways 138-East and Highway 62, and the entire stretch of Oregon Highway 230 will remain closed through Tuesday, as downed trees and large amounts of snowfall have made the highways impassable.
Conditions worsened Saturday night as two feet of new snow fell in the Diamond Lake area. Snow along Oregon 138-East now exceeds 15 feet in height in some areas.
Looks like the Mayor was able to get a video of the situation. My guess is there are probably going to be lots of small mountain towns in the Northwest in this type of situation.
