Readers share memories of flood of 96

He said after they arrived at town (Sweet Home) he couldn t believe he had driven through that. Said how stupid that was. I turned onto Santiam Terrace and it too was covered. All the ponds on the hill had overflowed their banks. Got to Highway 20 and had to drive through water multiple times to Lebanon.
