River Levels
The National Weather Service measures river levels at two locations along the South Yamhill River. Near Willamina, the highest recorded water level was about 17 feet (5 m) in December 1964. No low-water records are available for this gauge. At McMinnville, the highest recorded water level was about 59 feet (18 m) in February 1996, and the lowest was zero in October 1996.

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or levels:
“The name of the town isn’t important. It’s the one that’s just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. It’s on a river and it’s got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
“The word which gives the key to the national vice is waste. And people who are wasteful are not wise, neither can they remain young and vigorous. In order to transmute energy to higher and more subtle levels one must first conserve it.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
