Talk:Great Coastal Gale of 2007

New info for expansion

 * 12-9 Capital Press story with specific counties in WA declared disaster areas and other details.
 * 12-9 Longview Daily News story citing billion-dollar damage figure from Gregoire, meteorological details (includes tangent about global warming I've seen discussed in relation to these storms elsewhere, which is probably not appropriate for this article), etc. Katr67 (talk) 19:30, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Snow
It should be noted in this article that the first two waves of this three-wave (or "Three-Part Storm" as KOMO-TV described it, contained considerable amounts of snowfall which fell throughout the state. I live 10 miles north of Shelton and I measured seven inches of snow in my yard on Monday, December 1, and the next day another five inches of snow fell.

It wasn't just the rain that contributed to the severe record floods. You also had several areas experience nearly a foot of snow in the two waves prior to the "main wave" that arrived late in the evening on December 2nd (which continued into the mid-afternoon, early-evening hours of December 3rd). At my residence, at 4PM on December 2, it was still snowing lightly, and stopped at around 5. At 6:30, the temperature had jumped nearly 30 degrees, and by eight, we'd started seeing the first bands of extreme heavy rainfall.

All of that melting snow, the extreme rise in temperature, and the extreme amounts of rain are what contributed to the record floods the Pacific Northwest (especially the Skokomish River and Chehalis River in Washington) experienced.Srosenow 98 (talk) 09:42, 17 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I've added the information about the snow, as well as a summarized breakdown of the major events on both December 1st and December 2nd. I'm working on gathering sources of information for most of the content I've added.Srosenow 98 (talk) 08:31, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Disaster declarations for Oregon
Lincoln, Washington, and Polk counties have apparently been added to the disaster area designation, or at least they are getting state services and considered part of the affected area. This is original research--my agency is one of those coordinating relief efforts--but I believe this was decided yesterday. I'll see if I can find citations if somebody doesn't beat me to it.

I saw it printed somewhere, just don't recall where.Rvannatta (talk) 06:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Woodsen is a redlink community but seems like it deserves a page now that it is wiped out. DOGAMI has a good PDF file on its fate, but not sure of propriety of sticking in in somewhere: http://www.oregongeology.com/sub/Landslide/Woodson_DF_Dec2007c.pdf —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rvannatta (talk • contribs) 06:58, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
