The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

The Thanksgiving Day rain shower dumped a lot of moisture on Wahkiakum County.

On Puget Island, Scott Hartsell measured 9.87 inches of rain in his weather station in 24 hours. Out in West Valley, Kay Chamberlain had 3.89 inches during the same period.

Wahkiakum County Public Works Director Chuck Beyer said there were no major problems on county roads, even though there was some flooding in the Grays River and Deep River valleys.

“We dodged a bullet,” Beyer said.
