Yes, but we are on the bay, so it would have to be REALLY bad.
We get localized street flooding at the high tides with a lot of rain. It's the king tides we worry about. If it's raining and we have a 7' (king) high tide we might end up with water in the house. Next ones are in January around the 20th.

Well that looks like a shitty place to be right now, guessing they are worried about the damn/levy failing?

I lived on Salida in that zone in the ‘90s.

Is this going to be 82 and 96 all over again...
Interesting I haven't heard anything g about all the burn scar areas...yet. I'm guessing it's going to get messy next week.
Good news is the rain is slowing considerably here in the bay.

HWY 50 is shut down at Ice House. Think I heard White Hall is evacuated.

Reservoirs are still empty. This is all localized flooding. Creeks and rivers are over capacity.
As are my roof valleys…

It’s not that bad. Bad for here, sure, but not national news worthy.

Damn. If anyone needs help, I can drag the bronco up close and road it to where it is needed. It's still "legal"

Water in California is a complex topic. Managing water resources sustainably requires an integrated approach, as water flows across many lines and impacts every Californian. Learn the water basics for better understanding of our programs and the issues related to our work.

Yes, and the inflow right now is incredible. Our local reservoirs are tiny compared to Oroville and Shasta.
I'm guessing they will be full by the end of next week if they aren't already dumping like crazy. EDIT: Oor local reservoirs. Not Shasta or Oroville.

Chicken one day, feathers the next. That's California weather in a nutshell. Nothing new.

Don't worry, reservoirs will be empty by early Summer. We're in a severe drought remember. 😉

Who is responsible for maintaining and clearing the water runoffs, like ditches and such?
If a local area gets flooded because debris was not cleared out from a runoff, should it have been the city or county that needed to have it cleared?
The homeless add to this problem. They like to camp near streams and rivers and their garbage just floats until it gets hung up and piles up to dam up otherwise clear runoffs.

As someone who has worked for a bunch of .gov places with creeks and streams on the property. The .gov does from my experience.
One place I worked had a neighbor who claimed poor maintenance caused the flood that wiped out his front lawn, tax payers paid for his lawn to be redone. In reality $5k for what it would have cost to try and fight it was cheaper than trying to fight it.

Apparently nobody…well…me I guess in my neighborhood . Seem no one rakes leaves around here. Streets were flooding, so I cleaned them out.
Last year was doing that and one neighbor came out and told me to stop, said he was fighting with the county to force them to clean it. what ev

Big problem here from this , city will fill 40 yds of encampment every 2 years.
Godspeed to those in danger
