High Waters

Lower Hogeye Road was closed early last week due to a bank sluff caused by melting snow, but was reopened Thursday morning. Columbia County public works supervisor Wayne Tate said Columbia County had several areas with water runoff that plugged culverts and there was water across the road in the Turner area.

The pasture on the east side of the Coppei Bridge was filled with water on Wednesday of last week. The pasture is the former home of Izzy the Camel.

These "icebergs" were left in a pasture on the south end of Waitsburg once the water overflow from Coppei Creek subsided.
