Got a bit more than we expected in Eugene too.
Don't know when it started, but we got up at 7:00 AM and it was coming down pretty good.
On the above ground surfaces we got a total a little better than 6 inches, then it started raining. Toppled a few trees around the neighborhood, but the power has stayed on at least. Not finding any local news on radio, sounds like everybody stayed home & put the stations on autopilot. While my favorite station was about halfway through Rush, it faded to silence. They've been broadcasting dead air at full power for about four hours now, and the only thing I can get with a weather report is KEX. Sounds like Portland is having fun.

Interesting about the dead radio waves. Lose a tower in Portland, perhaps?

Started here in Elmira at 5:00 in the morning. Falling trees seemed to be the biggest problem out here. Hwy. 126 was closed for awhile. We were without electricity for most of the day. Thank God for my wood stove!
