Our Klamath Basin
Water Crisis
Upholding rural Americans' rights to grow food,
own property, and caretake our wildlife and natural resources.
January 1, 2006 Current flood conditions, story and photos by Marcia Armstrong, Siskiyou Co Supervisor District 5
At this time, there is still flood warning in effect
at Scott River and Seiad. Hwy 96 is impassible with
water over the roads. Power lines serving Seiad have
fallen into the river. There are slides on several
of the roads into Salmon River. (I think you can
still get around through Cecilleville.) I believe
Seiad, Somes Bar and some of the smaller Klamath
River communities are now isolated. I believe that
the route over Grayback from Happy Camp to Oregon
has been cleared from snow and may be open. There
are numerous road failures and slides. Very common
to have small rivers running over roads. There were
power outages to 4,000. still are outages in Fort
Jones, Happy Camp and Seiad. There are shelters open
at Happy Camp, Hornbrook and Gazelle
