Northwest Flooding: State of Emergency Declared in Oregon; Tornado Confirmed in Washington

Roads in Portland, Oregon, were left impassable by flooding that ejected manhole covers and left drivers stranded on Interstate 5, while mudslides broke sewer pipes and sent sewage into the streets. Forecasters say the wave of moisture won't be as potent in the coming days, but could still cause additional problems. The latest round of stormy weather on Thursdayeven spawned a tornado that caused damage in the southwest Washington town of Battle Ground.
