>>> TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, THOSE
GIANT BOULDERS YOU SEE HERE
CAME CRASHING DOWN, THIS IS ON
A HIGHWAY IN SOUTHERN OREGON
THIS MORNING.
THIS MORNING. YOU CAN SEE AN SUV HIT ONE OF
THE ROCKS, AND ANOTHER BOULDER
CAME DOWN, RIGHT BEHIND THEM.
THIS WAS ON HIGHWAY 62, JUST
SOUTHWEST OF CRATER LAKE.
WE KNOW THE DRIVER WAS TAKEN TO
THE HOSPITAL, BUT WE DON'T
KNOW.
KNOW.
KNOW. HOW
KNOW. HOW BADLY THEY WERE HURT.
IT IS GOING TO STAY CLOSED
UNTIL GEOLOGISTS CHECK THE
HILLSIDE, TO SEE IF MORE
BOULDERS ARE LIKELY TO FALL.
>>> CLOSER TO HOME, THE
RELENTLESS RAIN WE HAVE BEEN
SEEING HAS CAUSED SMALLER
SLIDES IN THE GORGE.
A THREE MILE STRETCH OF A
HISTORIC COLUMBIA RIVER HIGHWAY
IS CLOSED TONIGHT, FOLLOWING A
LANDSLIDE THERE.
LANDSLIDE THERE. THAT STRETCHES FROM BRIDAL VEIL
TO MOULTON FALLS.
EXPERTS SAY IT IS TOO UNSTABLE
TO OPEN RIGHT NOW.
AND LAST NIGHT WHAT HAPPENED
LAST NIGHT, ODOT CREWS CLEARED
SEVEN DUMP TRUCK LOADS OF
DEBRIS TODAY.
DEBRIS TODAY. NO MORE COULD COME DOWN.
THE SLIDE HAPPENED IN ONE OF
THE BURN AREAS, OF THE CREEK
FIRE.
FIRE.
FIRE. AND
FIRE. AND ODOT SPOKESPERSON SAYS WHY
THAT MAKES THE HILLS SO PRONE
TO SLIDES.
TO SLIDES. >> THE GROUNDCOVER AND
EVERYTHING HOLDING THE SOIL
TOGETHER IS NOT THERE ANYMORE.
AND IT DOESN'T ALLOW FOR THE
AMOUNT OF RAIN WE HAD, IT GETS
VERY SATURATED, NOT HOLDING
ONTO A LOT OF WATER, SO IT
BRINGS A LOT DOWN WITH IT.
>>> THE LANDSLIDE IS ALSO
BLOCKING COLEBROOK, THAT ALLOWS
WATER TO RUN UNDER THE HIGHWAY.
SO, CREWS TODAY ALSO BUILT NEW
DITCHES TO REVERT STREAM WATER
OFF OF THE ROAD.
THERE IS NO ESTIMATE FOR
REOPENING THIS STRETCH.
>>> AND A REMINDER, A LANDSLIDE
IS STILL BLOCKING A SECTION OF
BURNSIDE ON THE WEST HILLS OF
PORTLAND.
PORTLAND.
PORTLAND. ON FRIDAY, A LANDSLIDE BLOCKED
THE ROAD FROM BARNES TO
SKYLINE, AND THE WESTBOUND LANE
HAS REOPENED, BUT THE EASTBOUND
LANE WILL STAY CLOSED FOR AT
LEAST A FEW MORE DAYS.
THEY ARE ASKING PEOPLE TO AVOID
THIS AREA IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.
THE RAIN IS ALSO CAUSING SOME
LOCALIZED FLOODING AS YOU SEE
HERE, THIS MORNING, CREWS AT
THE AMBULANCE COUNTY HAD TO
RESCUE THAT DRIVER.
A DRIVERS CAR WAS STUCK IN 12
INCHES OF WATER.
THIS HAPPENED ON SOUTH BELLEVUE
HIGHWAY.
HIGHWAY.
HIGHWAY. THE DRIVER WASN'T HURT, BUT IT
IS A GOOD REMINDER, IF YOU SEE
HIGH WATER ON THE ROADS, DON'T
DRIVE THROUGH IT.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH MATT, NOW,
A LOT OF FOLKS READY FOR A
BREAK FROM THE RAIN.
ARE WE GOING TO GET A BREAK,
MATT?
MATT?
MATT? >>
MATT? >> WELL, LAUREL, AS YOU KNOW,

IT'S INTERESTING, IF WE LOOK
ELSEWHERE AROUND THE REGION,
THE RAINFALL HAS BEEN REALLY
IMPRESSIVE, SO AGAIN, PORTLAND

SICK 6.9.
SICK 6.9. DOWNTOWN PORTLAND, AT KGW, WE

COAST RANGE, CHECK OUT THAT
STORY.

STORY. OVER 15 INCHES OF RAIN THERE.
AND IF YOU LOOK INTO THE
MOUNTAINS, AND GORGE, EVEN MORE
IMPRESSIVE.
IMPRESSIVE. BONNEVILLE DAM HAS ALREADY HAD
20 INCHES OF RAIN THIS MONTH.
AND 60 MILES NORTHEAST OF
TILLAMOOK, NEARLY 30 INCHES OF
RAIN SO FAR THIS MONTH.
SO, IT HAS BEEN COMING DOWN A
LOT.

DO.

ISSUED A WARRANT FOR HIS

WHETHER HE WILL EVER COME BACK
TO FACE JUSTICE.
ICE ONCE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE
TO HOLD HIM FOR THEM.
THE CRIMINAL COURT PROCEEDINGS
ARE OVER.

CLACKAMAS COUNTY. A JUDGE RULED, DETAINING HER
FOR I.C.E.
FOR I.C.E. SAID IT VIOLATED HER
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, AND SHE

OFFICE SAID THEY CAN'T COMMENT,
BECAUSE IT IS A PENDING
CRIMINAL MATTER.
CRIMINAL MATTER. I.C.E.
I.C.E.
I.C.E. SENT US A STATEMENT, AND HAS
YET TO ANSWER MY FOLLOW-UP
QUESTIONS, BUT WHAT HAPPENS
NEXT FOR MENDOZA SHOP IS, AND
