Down River Report from Marcia Armstrong -

Siskiyou County Supervisor

At this time, there is still flood warning in effect at Scott River
and Seiad. Hwy 96 is impassible with water over the roads. Power
lines serving Seiad have fallen into the river. There are slides on
several of the roads into Salmon River. (I think you can still get
around through Cecilleville.) I believe Seiad, Somes Bar and some of
the smaller Klamath River communities are now isolated. I believe
that the route over Grayback from Happy Camp to Oregon has been
cleared from snow and may be open. There are numerous road failures
and slides. Very common to have small rivers running over roads.
There were power outages to 4,000. still are outages in Fort Jones,
Happy Camp and Seiad. There are shelters open at Happy Camp,
Hornbrook and Gazelle

First two pictures is the bridge at Horse Creek. Next three are Scott
River at Quartz Valley bridge. Next is Iron Gate spilling water.
