For years I drove by this house in S Salem wondering what will happen when Croisan Creek overflowed. When I took these pictures on Thursday, the homeowner was standing on dry land in his garage.

If you watched KATU's coverage of the 2012 Rose Bowl game, here is a picture of the crew that was in Pasadena. Covering these events are fun but, require working very hard under stressful, unfamiliar situations and long hours. We had great support from the folks coordinating our efforts at the station in Portland. This is a situation where a lot of things can go wrong, causing a meltdown on air. Hopefully, the live shots from the Rose Bowl were informative, insightful and entertaining to watch. I'm back home now, ready to jump into the day to day news routine.From let to right, Katy Brown, Me, John Michael Farley, Justin Gurrad, Craig Birnbach.
