Flood Impacts & Photos Collapse
19.5 deep and hazardous flood waters of the upper Chehalis and South Fork Chehalis rivers will inundate most roads and a majority of agricultural and residential areas. Many bridges will be closed and possibly damaged. A stage of 19.8 on the Chehalis near Doty corresponds to Phase 4 in the Lewis County flood system.
