Monday Dec. 3. 2007 - Sheridan Oregon.
Many Sheridan residents were effected by a flood that hit the city. Streets and homes were flooded. There was mandatory evacuations for some residents. The National Guard was called in to provide sand bags, and fire departments from surrounding communities came to help with mutual aid. The city was also hit by a flood back in 1996.
Looks like half of centeral Oklahoma last summer.
Bush’s fault. Where’s FEMA? Get your $2,000 yet?
Pretty amazing what the force of nature can cause. It’s sad to see the devasation, it has caused loss of jobs in the area as well, and it’s the christmas season. I am thankful our house did not get flooded but just a block away and it’s a whole diffrent story. The dumpsters at the park are filling up fast.
*lol* Even as small of a community as we are I can’t belive that we actully had looters, also FEMA is providing aid for clean-up and we get free loaders that take stuff when they were not even effected by the flood.
did that guy from NO show up?
They libs or conservatives out there?
Just tryin’ to figure out if the Drive By Media will be harping about this for the next two months.

Until you’ve had your home inundated by a flood, you have no concept of how destructive it is. I had a business destroyed by a flood in 1995. Each and every thing that can absorb water will be destroyed. Out of a $200K buildout, the sum total of all I could salvage from the flood was 3 or 4 qty. Rubbermaid standard brown waste baskets. I can assure you, those are the most expensive wastebaskets on the face of the earth.
Clatsop, Columbia, Lincoln, Tillamook and Yamhill counties were all declared federal disaster areas by President Bush, we have property in Polk county that was flooded y polk is not on the list the basement went under, and we are loosing our acarege to the river. We filed a FEMA claim in polk county in 1996, but since it is not listed time I doubt we can file a claim.
We have a few more conservatives in this area than libs in my opinon. I do know quite a few libs though.

We got nailed in the 1976 Tulsa, OK Memorial day Mingo Creek flood. My brother got hit in the Tulsa, Memorial day Mingo Creek flood nine years later. I have always lived on high ground since then.
Oh, but Sheridan is much to close to Salem. My brother lived in SE Salem for a few years, and considers Salem to be home to the worst people in Oregon.
My sister and family live around Lebanon. My sister and family live around Lebanon. During the last regional flood, must be ten years ago now, my sisters husband worked at OSU in Corvallis at the time. When the Willamette flooded, there was no way to get over the river from the OSU campus, and he was stuck there for 3 days.
I’m surprised the FEMA declaration didn’t include Personal Assistance. Government agencies get assistance, but not the people. The USA gives billions to Muslim governments that persecute Christians and hate our guts. But when our own people are hit by disaster - nothing.
"At this point, however, assistance is only available to state and local governments, not people who sustained damage to their homes and businesses. That's nothing to worry about, because assistance to individuals wouldn't be announced until after damage assessments are completed Tuesday, explained Abby Kershaw, section director with Oregon Emergency Management."
