Frequently asked questions
The two banks of the river here behave differently. Why?
They sit on different ground. The terrace on one bank sheds December onto the crawl below it, while the mill grid on the other holds a winter table in confluence silt. One town, two banks, two mechanisms.
The Willamette gauge reads normal. Why is the lot flooding?
You are watching the wrong river. The Calapooia answers a Cascades cell hours before the Willamette registers anything, so the smaller river puts water on the ground while the big gauge still looks unremarkable. On this confluence the tributary is the one to check.
The house is in North Albany, across the Willamette. Same December job?
Same rain, different ground. North Albany is a terrace that sheds; the mill grid is confluence silt that sits. December's 7.23 inches wets both, but one is a downhill wall and the other is a water table. Treating the two banks as one town is how the wrong fix crosses the river.
