National Weather Service officials notified residents of western Oregon to be prepared for possible landslides on January 1, 2009. The following day a landslide caused by a winter storm deposited mud two feet deep onto U.S. highway 26. The landslide, also called a mudslide, blocked the highway east of Sandy, Oregon, and stretched for 200 yards. County officials declared a state of emergency following the slide.Register-Guard: Flooding a concern for parts of Oregon (January 2, 2009) Kgw.com (Portland, Oregon): Mud slide blocks Hwy.26...
