expect flooding of numerous homes and structures along the Tualatin River upstream of the City of Tualatin down to the confluence with the Willamette, along with flooding of homes in the Rivergrove area just east of I-5. Overtopping of the Oswego Canal inlet gate is possible at this level, which would lead to some erosion of the canal banks.
