Heavy rains turned streets in the Portland area into creeks on Monday, interrupted bus and light rail service and forced the evacuation of at least one neighborhood.

Flooding caused the closure of numerous roads, and heavy rains triggered landslides.

The rain also caused Portland's sewer system to overflow into the Willamette River. Officials said people should avoid contact with the river for at least 48 hours because of bacteria in the water.
