High river levels on the Willamette.

Was walking last night along the waterfront, and noticed the water was a good 6 feet higher than normal.  Turns out, combined melting snow and rains from the other week are combining to increase flows, which incidentally is resulting in the bridge spans being raised more often than normal.  It's been dry the past three days, so it's a little strange.

River just a foot below the concrete walkway, 200 yards away from Union Station.

These buildings to the left got flooded in 1996.  It's not going to get that high.
