I want to issue a 6″ correction to my June 13th post about high water on the Columbia River. I said…
Looking at the photos closely in February there were 13 1/2 courses on the pier between the cap and the water. Today there were only 9. Estimating a course at 18″ puts the river nearly 7′ higher than in February.
After measuring the courses on one of the piers next to 8th Street today I found out they are each 24″ tall which means the water was closer to 9′ higher than in February.
