Pete Caster / [email protected] Neighbors along Coal Creek Road inspect the damage after a massive log jam created by a large old growth tree claimed the foundation of a cabin along Coal Creek east of Packwood on Thursday afternoon. Toppled Cabins Rest in the Cowlitz After Titanic Log Jam Near Packwood DEVASTATED: Coal Creek Neighborhood Now a Decimated Mess of Wood and Debris By Jordan Nailon For The Chronicle PACKWOOD — Numer- ous East Lewis County homes and cabins were claimed by this week's flooding, and it doesn't take a hydrological expert to see that the future will likely hold more of the same. The Coal Creek Road neigh- borhood east of Packwood is an example. Since 1996, the Cowlitz River has been slowly claiming the neighborhood. Now, the neigh- borhood's namesake creek is helping the hungry river devour property. On Thursday, the turbid wa- ters began to retreat from newly claimed turf, leaving a riverfront vacation cabin face down in the churning current of the Cowlitz. Its foundation, along with 50 Jim Leinan, left, talks with Dan Lovell, from H&R Waterworks, while standing beside a washed out Coal Creek Road on Thursday afternoon east of Packwood. feet of river buffering property that had existed at the begin- ning of the week, were long gone downstream.

They've also had one positive effect — easing drought concerns after an un- usually dry summer. The big storms that killed at least two people in Oregon this week shifted into California, where snow coated the slopes of the Sierra Nevada. But fore- casters said mudslide danger on saturated hills in the Northwest would remain high through the weekend. Oregon Gov.

2B Girls Basketball Thursday’s 2B Boys Basketball Pirates Overcome Scoreless Start to Top Pe Ell

By The Chronicle PE ELL — Adna’s start couldn’t have been much worse — though the same could be said for Pe Ell’s foul shooting. The Pirates dug themselves a 16-0 hole in the first quarter and trailed 29-12 at halftime, only to score 44 in the second half and squeak out a win. The Trojans, meanwhile, went just 3 of 15 at the free-throw line and missed the front end of too many key 1-and-1s in the second half, according to coach Justin Phelps. Tanner Rigdon led Adna with 25 points, including a pair of 3-pointers to start the third quarter. Isaac Ingle added 12 of his 14 points in the second half. “We won the first two quar- ters, and that’s been our Achilles’ heel for I don’t know how long,” Phelps said. “We come out in the third quarter flat.” Dustin Lusk led Pe Ell with 16 points, and Kaelin Jurek scored 15. Red Arrington added 11 for the Trojans, who fell behind by 6 in the fourth quarter but tied things up with 30 seconds to go.
