High Columbia River Levels

The Columbia River has been higher than normal as the USACE is letting water out of the dams upstream. There shouldn't be anything to worry about, although the current will be swift and more debris may be in the water. It is expected to crest about 1.5 feet short of minor flood stage at Longview/Rainier. Please let us know if you have questions.
