The worst floods in Oregon history include the 1964 flood, which was part of a larger Pacific Northwest disaster caused by heavy rain and snowmelt, resulting in significant damage and loss of life. The 1996 flood, primarily affecting the Willamette Valley, brought record-high water levels and extensive property damage.
