Marys River Flood part 1 Philomath OR

[Anuheaikauatuahine]

Awesome video... I'm glad you're safe. That was a scary drive at one point. Your video gave us a really good look at the flooding there.

you could have died doing what you did..not very smart

[rmizeelectric]

i hope everything works out for you guys. you seem to have great attitudes considering what is happening. i drove through plymouth road and bellfountain (?) road this afternoon and was astonished at what I saw.

[rmizeelectric]

@diabloho LBCC was open... I couldnt believe it! had an awesome drive to class this morning

Hey is all of Philomath like this? I have family that live off Applegate (inbetween 2 churches) and I cant seem to find information on that area how is it do you know?

[backacherfarm]

@edrick1976 Applegate got some water on the edges of roads from slow drainage, but nothing too serious. Your family is just fine, I'm sure!

[thefamilyk]

@diabloho ours were closed too

[DrRugburner]

fyi......you have a cracked windshield

[backacherfarm]

@DrRugburner Hey thanks for noticing. Just a couple days before this video, we were getting pelted with sand from snow plows. Go figure!

[diabloho]

Really? Your kids needed to go to school that bad?

[thefamilyk]

@diabloho schools were closed

[Woodpecker97330]

Interesting video. Too bad you had to set such bad example by showing yourself driving through it. That's basically how those people died in Albany. Sure, I'm sure you know the road well, but that doesn't mean everyone who watches this video will.

Thanks for posting the flooding in Philomath. My parents & sister live off Applegate there. I have been so concerned. I am sorry for your losses, but happy you are safe. I don't know you, but we drive down Chapel to 13th for our back way into town, so we drive by your ranch alot. Be Safe & may God be with you. Lee

@greyeagle1033 Thank you Lee... we finally got our rainbow, and things are beginning to look up!

[dnlperlin]

Schools closed :)

[dnlperlin]

I live right by you: I live in Corvallis

[adb75im]

My word, I used to live about a block from that intersection . . . can't believe all that water. Stay safe to all my former neighbors. How is Cedar street?

[backacherfarm]

@adb75im Cedar St got pretty intense for a few hours. Had to sandbag the whole street. We're actually staying on Cedar until we can go home.

[prickeke]

That's our chickens. They are all safe and dry now. On Facebook / provenancefarm

[Libertytruthfreedom]

Holy shit! Fritz's places is cover! 

[20fireman12]

crazy that we never get that here in the valley.

[AmberNash1]

Larry, your not suppose to drive through... I was nervous for you both! Incredible video.

[inunisontraining]

I work with someone who lives in this area! He was talking about the chickens at work today :-)

[Lawlnut]

Glad there isn't any flooding on the OSU campus.

[alejandroporter]

Goddamn Oregon, quit it before I kick ya in the nuts >.<

[SimpleJesusGirl]

o my gosh you guys... praying for you..

[redbull269]

so why would you take your kids to school if its flooding this bad?

[CanusPissedoffus]

@redbull269 better to have them not half-drowning in a house surrounded by water, right? At least they could joke around with their friends instead of worrying if they're gonna float away or something...

[Alphaashlie]

wow that is the worst i have ever seen it!

[mechilless777]

that was awesome. i am up on N 12th.

[youruiz]
