1/17/11--When eight inches of warm rain fell on Mount Hood in two days, a swollen Sandy River in Oregon jumped its banks and flowed down the middle of a road. East Lolo Pass is ruined and people above the broken road are stranded. The river, swollen by heavy rain and rapid snowmelt, rampaged through residential areas on the slopes of Mount Hood late Sunday and this morning, tearing away homes, cars and trucks, and ripping out at large portions of East Lolo Pass Road.
