What happened
The episode as NWS MFR wrote it up.
The Curry Coastal Pilot (Brookings, OR) newspaper reported extensive urban and small stream flooding due to heavy rains. Brookings recorded 4.72 inches of rain, a record for the date. The article called the flooding "massive" but the article only listed relatively minor flooding...a few inches of water got into a number of buildings. Nearly all the spotter reports from the area just gave 24 hour rainfall totals, which were impressive, but not catastrophic. Some mudslides were also reported. The Pistol River was reported over its banks.No warning was issued for this area, but an Urban/Small Stream Flood Warning would have been appropriate.
