BZ CORNER, WASHINGTON: Kayakers head down to the river with their kayaks to take advantage of the big flows caused by the atmospheric river in BZ Corner, Washington on December 10, 2025. An intense atmospheric river hit both Oregon and Washington bringing with it significant flooding, landslides, and record rainfall. It also brought historic flows exciting kayakers, many of whom said they had never seen the rivers so high in years. While the main storm moved north, causing severe issues in Washington and B.C., Oregon saw major impacts, particularly in the Coast Range and Portland area. Forecasts are calling for more moisture and another potential system potentially stressing already saturated ground.
