Community Notice: Coastal High Tides, Potential Flooding Risks & a Free Sandbag Program
City of Coos Bay release - Living near sea level in Coos Bay means we are no strangers to the water. We are a resilient coastal community, and a little high water is simply part of life on the Oregon Coast. As we head into this season’s high tides and winter storms, our local weather patterns are getting an extra push from an ocean climate phenomenon known as "Kelvin waves." These waves bring warmer, deeper water across the Pacific, which can temporarily push our normal high tides just a bit higher than usual. Adding to this, our upcoming winter King Tides—the highest seasonal tides of the year—will soon be rolling in. The combination of these massive natural tides, local storms, and Kelvin waves means our neighborhood streets and low-lying areas will likely experience more frequent and higher tidal flooding over the coming weeks. While there is no need for alarm, the City of Coos Bay wants to make sure every resident and business owner has the tools they need to stay dry and prepared. To help protect your property, the city is offering a free sandbag program for local residents: •Pick-Up Location: Fire Station at 450 Elrod Avenue; •How to Get Your Sandbags: Bags are completely free, but you must call ahead to make arrangements for your pickup. •Contact Number: Please call 541-269-1191 before heading down to the station so the team can have them ready for you. Let's keep an eye on the tide tables, look out for our neighbors, and take a few quick steps to stay ahead of the weather. For more information or to arrange your sandbag pickup, give the Fire Station at 450 Elrod Avenue a call today. Stay safe, stay dry, and thank you for helping keep Coos Bay prepared!

Gas tax revenue drops, reducing transportation funding
ODOT release - Increasing fuel efficiency paired with a recent spike in gas prices is cutting gas consumption in Oregon - SALEM – ODOT economists have long predicted gas tax revenue would decline as Oregonians purchase more efficient vehicles and use less gas to travel. That decline is officially here. Motor fuels tax revenue is down 2.2% for 2026 compared to the first nine months of 2025. “Reduced fuel consumption is worth celebrating because it means cleaner air for Oregonians,” said Travis Brouwer, deputy director of the Oregon Department of Transportation. “However, our transportation system still depends on gas tax revenue to function. Transportation agencies at the city, county and state level across Oregon will now have fewer dollars to maintain and improve the transportation system. With inflation rising, each of those dollars will buy less.” Experts had predicted a decline in gas tax revenue would begin this year. The scale and pace of that decline has been increased by a nationwide spike in gas prices. Fuel prices are significantly higher across the country this year, particularly since the war in Iran began this spring. Gas consumption in Oregon peaked in 2018 and has been declining slowly ever since. That’s because Oregonians have increasingly purchased efficient and electric vehicles. There are more than 140,000 plug-in and electric vehicles registered in Oregon. The average car in Oregon now gets over 25 miles per gallon compared to 21 miles per gallon in 2016, a 20 percent increase in fuel efficiency in just 10 years. In recent years, gas tax revenue had continued to go up even as gas consumption declined because the Oregon Legislature put in place a series of two-cent gas tax increases for 2020, 2022 and 2024. Those gas tax increases were less than inflation during that time. There are no more scheduled gas tax increases, and the state gas tax will remain flat at $.40 per gallon unless action is taken by the legislature. With gas consumption declining, it’s likely that gas tax revenue peaked in 2025, while inflation continues to drive up costs. With funding from the gas tax declining for maintaining and operating the transportation system, travelers will experience rougher roads, more delays, more closures, and less reliable travel across the state.

Ducks Blitz Bucks With 38 Straight Points
Oregon fell behind by two touchdowns Saturday, then scored 38 straight points on the way to a 41-28 win at Ohio State. UO release By: Rob Moseley - COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Mummy Ducks turned into Shoe Ducks. And Oregon preserved its place in the College Football Playoff conversation for at least one more week. Oregon put together the kind of performance Saturday unseen by a visitor to Ohio Stadium in decades. Down 14-0 through one quarter, the Ducks reeled off the next 38 points on the way to a 41-28 win — the Buckeyes' first loss at home after leading by 14 points in 25 years. After losing its starting quarterback to injury late in September, then struggling to establish consistency through October, the Ducks came into November with some momentum after a Halloween comeback at home. They turbo-charged that momentum with Saturday's win, coming back from a two-touchdown deficit in consecutive games for the first time in modern program history. "Obviously a fun game." UO coach Dan Lanning said. "Lot of credit to our players for really not flinching, not blinking when you're down 14, and to just keep fighting. In those moments we've said we were going to let it hang and just go after it. And similar to last week, we've proven that we can be a team that's been in tough battles and can battle back." The Ducks ended Ohio State's 14-0 start with a field goal early in the second quarter. That ended up sparking a run of 38 straight points for Oregon, including a dominant 21-point explosion in the "middle 8" of the game before and after halftime — fueled by bursts of creativity on special teams and offense. Oregon came into Saturday at No. 23 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings of the season, released earlier in the week. For at least one more week, the Ducks will remain in that conversation — even if the Ducks themselves won't be a voice in it. Because blocking out big-picture narratives has been critical to the way things have clicked for Oregon recently. "Starting the season off, we had a lot of things on our mind, a lot of goals that we were focused on," said receiver Dakorian Moore, who had a sweet touchdown grab on a fade route for the second week in a row. "But I think now it's just going out there, playing free, doing what we do. I think we're just letting it loose now." Dylan Raiola went 25-of-40 for 257 yards with two touchdowns, Dierre Hill Jr. ran for 75 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and breakout freshman Brandon Smith caught a TD pass from Raiola to cap Oregon's 38-point run early in the fourth quarter. Devon Jackson and Dylan Williams had eight tackles each to lead the UO defense. "We were confident in our plan," Raiola said. "We saw seams everywhere in their defense when we were game-planning for them. A couple (breakdowns on) those first couple drives were self-inflicted wounds, and so we never got down. We were confident when they got up 14. We're like, well, this happened last week, so let's just go do it again." Hill's first rushing touchdown made it 14-10 with 1:25 left in the first half, sparking Oregon's dominance of the "middle 8" — the 4 minutes before and after halftime. An acrobatic interception by freshman safety Devin Jackson gave the Ducks a chance to score again, and they did on a gadget play that saw tight end Jamari Johnson take the snap under center and power in from 2 yards out on the last play of the first half. That play call came a few minutes after Hill's rushing touchdown was set up by a fake punt — a 30-yard pass from upback Teitum Tuioti to his fellow upback and outside linebacker Matayo Uiagalelei. Prior to the Northwestern game, Lanning had pledged to get back to the aggressive mindset he coached with for most of his UO tenure, and it was on display again Saturday. "If we didn't fake that punt, if we didn't go for it on fourth down there, down tight in the red area, I would have been flying back regretting that, knowing that those opportunities were there," Lanning said. "I just feel like we've been a team that's like, let's let it rip, see where the chips fall." The "middle 8" surge was capped by Hill's second rushing touchdown, less than 2 minutes after halftime. That run covered 48 yards — 14 more rushing yards than the Ducks had in the game to that point. "We've been through a lot of adversity, and one thing with us, we just dial into the process a little bit harder and stay focused and stay with each other," Hill said. "And we did that and were able to succeed." The Ducks thrived as well by avoiding allowing many big plays by superstar Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith until the game was already out of hand. And for the second week in a row, they shored up their third-down defense as the game progressed. On the Buckeyes' scoring drive to open the game, they were 3-of-3 on third down; they converted only three more the rest of the night, and were 0-of-4 on fourth down. "You start giving up some of those for free, that's a frustration, but it's easy things that you can fix," Lanning said. "You just don't know how many of those opportunities that you can give up and still have a chance to have success in the game. I thought our players settled in." Over the summer, Saturday's game projected to be a match-up potentially of the top two teams in the country. Injuries for each at quarterback derailed that narrative. But though they've pledged to continue avoiding the topic, the Ducks' dreams remain alive. "We're like cockroaches, man," Lanning said. "We won't die."
