Mt. Hood Storm Damage
Winds and massive amounts of rain came to Mt. Hood. Power outages for days, downed power lines, toppled trees and landslides hit the area. Saturated ground caused many trees to fall over in the winds. The biggest slide was near the intersection of Salmon River Road and Welches Road. Salmon River Road is now open but it may be a while before Welches Road is cleared. Here are a few photos of the damage.
