Oregon flooding abates; part of interstate still closed

Waters covering roads in flood-hit northeastern Oregon were starting to recede, allowing residents to return and assess the damage. An approximately 10-mile (16-kilometer) stretch of Interstate 84 south of Hermiston, Oregon, remained closed Sunday due to flood damage and authorities say it could be a week before it reopens. Oregon National Guard troops aboard two helicopters airlifted 21 people to safety on Saturday, and authorities reported a 62-year-old woman who lived in one of the areas hit by floods was missing.
