<DIV><STRONG>Actually Bob, it was May 31, 1948. The first dike that broke took out Vanport and somewhat East. The second dike broke 2 weeks later taking out the airport, my parents and grandparents houses, and went way out past Blue Lake.</STRONG></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"><FONT face=Arial>I was in Portland (near Mt Tabor) When the VanPort Flood took out the Airport and surrounding lowlands and housing, and racetrack! What a mess! I managed to drive by it a couple of times. Anyone else old enough to remember it? I believe it was 1947. it was caused by a very heavt sbow pack in the mountains and a very prolonged warm rain. Blew out he Dike and flodded the whole area.<BR><BR>--<BR>Duane R.(Bob) Goodman</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
