  • During the storm from January 7th to 8th, landslides occurred in 19 counties, from the Oregon State border to the Canadian border and from the Pacific Ocean and across the Cascade Mountains. To date, more than 1,500 new landslides have been observed and recorded by the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geology and Earth Resources geologists and others throughout the state, many of these destructive debris avalanches and debris flows that impacted roads, structures, utilities and communities. Over 150 sections of road and more than 50 structures were impacted by landslides.

  • The Aldercrest-Banyon neighborhood in eastern Kelso, Washington began experiencing gross ground movements in February 1998, following 3-1/2 years of above-average rainfall. The Aldercrest-Banyon landslide was one of the worst urban landslides in U.S. history, causing millions of dollars of damage, in a small bedroom community with a population of less than 12,000 people. The photos in this album were taken by Dr. J. David Rogers, Professional Engineer.
