Perhaps the River God Neptune destroyed Vanport because of it's forced integration?
A very biased against white americans article; pro diversity etc, ignoring that blacks in Oregon have become a criminal welfare underclass and importing them during world war two was a huge mistake. Following is one of the thousands of violent black criminals descended from the blacks who moved to Oregon during WWII

From Wikipedia, the free but very anti-white encyclopedia
Vanport City was a hastily constructed city of public housing located in Multnomah County, Oregon, United States, between the contemporary Portland city boundary and the Columbia River. It is currently the site of Delta Park and the Portland International Raceway.[1]
It was constructed in 1943 to house the workers at the wartime Kaiser Shipyards in Portland and Vancouver, Washington. Vanport was home to 40,000 people, about 40 percent of them Negroes, making it Oregon's second-largest city at the time, and the largest public housing project in the nation. The state had a population of fewer than 1,800 blacks in 1940; by 1946 more than 15,000 lived in the Portland area
After the war, Vanport lost more than half of its population, dropping to 18,500, as many war time workers left the area. But, there was also an influx of returning World War II veterans.]

Vanport was dramatically destroyed at 4:05 p.m. on May 30, 1948, when a 200-foot (61 m) section of the dike holding back the Columbia River collapsed during a flood, killing 15. The city was underwater by nightfall leaving its inhabitants homeless. .
The Vanport Flood parallels the more recent Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans. In both cases, public officials led the population to believe that the damage would be slight, and in both cases the government response to the disaster was harshly criticized. Many have attributed the poor response, in both cases, to racist attitudes on the part of officials, who allegedly neglected to respond appropriately to the destruction of predominately black communities. 3]
A Vanport street scene
As a hub of transient laborers from all corners of the country, few residents had any long-term connections with each other and little opportunity or interest to build them. The temporary nature of the new city contributed to an overall sense of insecurity and anxiety among residents. The lack of businesses and recreation opportunities contributed to a sense of distrust, and the relative isolation of the largely male workforce meant there was little demand for community institutions such as a newspaper or high school.[4]
Underneath the apathy and dissatisfaction lay a strong sense of patriotism. Of those who moved to Vanport, a vast majority cited a desire to aid the war effort as their primary motivation. Work elsewhere offered better wages and living conditions, but the shipyards offered a chance to aid the country. .
HAP sought to attract World War II veterans seeking housing, a community to raise their families, and higher education through the Servicemen's Readjustment Act (G.I. Bill). The establishment of a college at Vanport in 1946 was a key part of the strategy to keep Vanport a thriving Oregon community.[2]
During the 1920s, Oregon had one of the largest and most active chapters of the Ku Klux Klan outside of the Deep South. .
Note the following bias in the article: if whites preferred their own culture and ethnic group they were automatically White Nationalists or Racists.:
"Vanport’s in-migrants imported their particular brands of white nationalism from throughout the country. White migrants from the South were the most vocal in opposing the degree of integration that HAP dictated for schools, buses and work sites. The Authority was largely unsympathetic to these complaints and at no time was de jure segregation imposed on any of Vanport's facilities.
When police were called because black men were dancing with white women at a local event, only the white women were detained and warned that their conduct might lead to a race riot.[8]
HAP never had any explicit policy advocating segregation; nonetheless, for various reasons de facto segregation was the norm. Whites complained when placed near “black” areas, and segregation of Vanport by neighborhood might as well have been enforced legally.[9] Only in 1944 were complaints raised about the segregation situation in the city. Reacting to the criticism—and pressure from Eleanor Roosevelt—by April 1944, HAP began placing incoming blacks into the “white” areas of the settlement. However, word quickly spread and 63 white residents quickly signed a petition demanding a reversal of the policy. Entire buildings were free in the “black” areas of town, they argued, and after opponents of the integration plan appeared at a HAP meeting the authority decided to resume its previous policies.[10]
The unprecedented level of integration and lack of any major racial incidents or severe tensions did not mean there were no problems. Black/white tensions were still a part of Vanport life as well as a problem in relating to Portland. A 1943-1944 study published in the American Sociological Review indicates that the top five complaints from Vanport residents included “Negroes and whites in same neighborhood”, “Negroes and whites in same school”, and “Discrimination against Vanport people by Portlanders”.
What happened afterwards was white flight as blacks moved into Northeast Portland, a once respectable area.
Black Negroes in Portland, the decendants of which, are responsible for a good deal of the crime, shootings,and violence in the Portland area.
They should never have been allowed in Oregon. One only has to go to multnomah jail mug shots to see how many are arrested on an ongoning basis.They are now moving into the formerly white areas of Portland, hooking up with white welfare mothers, or arriving with section 8 vouchers t[11]

Vanport was especially vulnerable to flooding, since it was built on reclaimed lowlands along the Columbia River. The Columbia Basin is a massive area encompassing seven U.S. states and British Columbia, Canada. The previous winter snowpack was 75 to 135% of normal. Above normal temperatures accompanied two major rainstorms May 19 to 23 and again May 26 to 29.[12] Rainfall combined with melt water swelled the many tributaries feeding the Columbia in the days prior to the flood, creating high water levels not seen since the record flood of 1894.[13] The lowest point in Vanport was about 15 feet (4.6 m) below the water level in the river.[14]

Race relations
The establishment of Vanport coincided with an unprecedented influx of Negroes into Oregon. The state had a population of fewer than 1,800 blacks in 1940; by 1946 more than 15,000 lived in the Portland area, mostly in Vanport and other segregated housing districts.[6]During the 1920s, Oregon had one of the largest and most active chapters of the Ku Klux Klan outside of the Deep South. .
