The episode as NWS MFR wrote it up.
A Flood Warning was issued for the South Fork of the Coquille River at Myrtle Point. It was issued at 2220 PST on 2/26 and cancelled at 1005 PST on 2/27. It was cancelled again at 1631 PST by a forecaster who initially could not find the previous cancellation. This warning was issued because the Coquille River exceeded the 10.0 foot stage at Powers. Historically, when the Powers stage exceeded 10.0 feet, flooding could be expected in the warning point area around 12 hours later. However, no flooding occurred in this incidence, as the river stage at Myrtle Point remained several feet below flood stage.
