Log in River Photo – Per Your Request

As we all know, logs float (maybe not the people at RES?).  

And when they’re in rivers, they end-up jammed-up against bridge supports. This can and does result in bridge failure as well as severe damage to other structures and homes as we see in this photo from the 1964 Klamath River Flood:

Logs coming downstream during the Klamath River flood pummeled everything in their path.

As such, most wood, which has a specific gravity of less than 1.0 g/cc floats.

The hundreds of tree logs brought into our area by Resource Management Solutions (RES) will float down-stream in high water. That is based upon scientific certainty.

I can only image how many of the imported logs will be pummeling structures and homes, and ending-up against the bridge supports down-river in the next flood.

The logs at Jenny Creek… and a curious Humvee
