For nearly a decade he’s covered how warming temperatures are altering the lives of Californians. He’s reported on farmers worried their pistachio trees aren’t getting enough sleep, families desperate for water, scientists studying dying giant sequoias, and alongside firefighters containing wildfires. His work has appeared on local stations across California and nationally on public radio shows like Morning Edition, Here and Now, All Things Considered and Science Friday. ",

He said it’s not uncommon for the radars to need maintenance, especially since they are often on mountaintops and spin constantly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unfortunate when we don’t have a replacement part on hand, and there’s rain also coming because that’s where we really rely on the radar to see through the clouds and what’s happening in the rain,” Flynn told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12029178 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/NOAAGetty-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that the replacement part is expected to arrive in the next day or so and that NWS is working to have the radar repaired before the next round of rain begins Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flynn called the series of showers “beneficial rains” that won’t mirror \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026874/bay-area-heavy-rain-flooding-landslides-thousands-without-power\">February’s deluges\u003c/a> — less than half an inch of rainfall is predicted throughout most of the Bay Area, and the San Mateo and Santa Clara coasts are expected to top out at about one inch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are “amounts that are noticeable, measurable, might not be the most comfortable thing to go and walk your dog in, but it’s not a big flooding concern,” Flynn said. “It more helps fill up the reservoirs, it’s good as we get to the drier months ahead for the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike the atmospheric river-fueled storms that have dominated the Bay Area’s winter weather so far, this series will bring more evenly distributed rain throughout the state, with the low-pressure systems hanging in the Central Valley and reaching Southern California. The storms will also be considerably colder since there’s less moisture gathering in the air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means the Sierra Nevada can expect significant snowfall throughout the week after getting 6 to 12 inches around the mountains this past weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would assume it’ll [be] pretty much on par with what we got over the weekend for each of these [systems],” Flynn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday and Saturday should be dry — though cold and windy — before rain returns Sunday, dropping up to an inch of rain across the Bay Area. Flynn said the National Weather Service is starting to see hints that a larger storm system could be gearing up to hit the region in the middle of next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Enjoy the short periods of dry weather,” the NWS’s forecast discussion said Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Murillo said he can’t at this point attribute the death to the rain, but it happened during the storm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Weather Service is paying close attention to any notable rise in streams and major rivers, with the Russian River at Guerneville and the San Lorenzo River having the highest chances of going into flood stage. “San Lorenzo is of particular concern given the rain so far and how flashy that basin is. The river gauge is already reporting a sharp rise,” meteorologists wrote in the weather service’s morning forecast discussion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford climate scientist Noah Diffenbaugh said this atmospheric river mirrors a more significant trend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=science_1996145 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2025/02/250210-SurferSewage-05-BL-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a trend towards the atmospheric river storms that make landfall getting warmer,” he said. “They’ll tend to produce more rainfall than snow, which creates runoff right away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that water is spilling into roadways, which is causing traffic issues, especially in the North Bay, said Sgt.

Heavy rainfall may also continue to cause landslides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While the rain and wind grabs everybody’s attention, the most deadly weather we have here in the Bay Area is high surf and people getting swept out to sea,” Flynn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flynn said scattered showers will pick up Thursday afternoon with a chance of thunderstorms, but the rain will be spottier than what happened overnight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By Friday afternoon, the sun will make a triumphant return, and the rain will stop,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meteorologists expect a weaker storm to move through the region Sunday, with light rain focused on the North Bay. Forecasters wrote that the long-range discussion for the rest of the month is “split, but the majority of solutions point to a much drier second half of February as our roller-coaster rainy season continues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://kqednews.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=a04a97b02e764b5e94905acaaecf2edc\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

In its \u003ca href=\"https://infrastructurereportcard.org/state-item/california/\">2019 infrastructure report card\u003c/a>, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave the state’s levees a ‘D,’ citing that despite significant investments, much more work is needed to rehabilitate and improve them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12025777/north-bay-rivers-flood-after-storm-little-time-prepare-next-round-rain\">more rain in the forecast\u003c/a>, here’s what to know about California’s levees:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What are levees?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Levees are barriers constructed alongside rivers, streams and other waterways to prevent land and property from flooding, \u003ca href=\"https://levees.sec.usace.army.mil/levee-basics/what-is-a-levee/\">according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers\u003c/a>. Levees generally take the form of either an earthen embankment or a floodwall made of concrete or other materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levees are different from dams, which are built across waterways to hold back and collect water in reservoirs. When water is released from a reservoir, it can put levees downstream to the test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=science_1981900]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the consequences of levee failure happen fast. By some accounts, \u003ca href=\"https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/15429/hurricane-katrina-floods-the-southeastern-united-states\">80% of New Orleans was flooded\u003c/a> by Hurricane Katrina in 2004 due to levee breaches, with water depths reaching \u003ca href=\"https://nola.gov/nola/media/Safety-and-Permits/floodplain-management/Extent-Depth-of-Flooding-Katrina.pdf\">7 feet\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, levees are managed by a patchwork of federal, state and local agencies, as well as by private landowners. This means that information about the condition of levees across the state can be difficult to find.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some levees were simply built haphazardly and aren’t easily found on any map or database, let alone information about their quality and current condition,” said Ann Willis, California’s regional director of American Rivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two of the major players in levee management in the Golden State are the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which has a hand in managing approximately 2,300 miles of California levees, and the state, which manages about 1,550 miles of levees, mostly in the Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12025921\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12025921\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/240820-PajaroFolo-49-BL_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/240820-PajaroFolo-49-BL_qed.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/240820-PajaroFolo-49-BL_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/240820-PajaroFolo-49-BL_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/240820-PajaroFolo-49-BL_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/240820-PajaroFolo-49-BL_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/240820-PajaroFolo-49-BL_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A construction project to stabilize and add height to the Pajaro levee takes place on Aug. 20, 2024, after a breach in the levee flooded the community of Pajaro in 2023. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Army Corps’ National Levee Database contains information on over 1,600 federal, state and local levees in California and paints a picture of the communities those structures protect: more than 5 million Californians live behind levees, which protect about 3,000 “critical structures,” like schools, fire stations and electric substations and about 750,000 acres of agricultural land.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How safe are levees?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While levees are a common part of California’s infrastructure, Willis said it’s important to remember that at the end of the day, they’re just human-made structures trying to hold back a powerful force of nature, whether that’s an atmospheric river or 2 billion gallons released from reservoirs with little warning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That doesn’t mean all levees are on the brink of collapse, Willis said, but it’s a cause for ongoing and increasing concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are certainly areas where work and maintenance is being done to strengthen the levee system,” she said. “But that is really more of an exception. And this problem is really not going away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12023248]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trouble is, most people don’t know it. “I think people see a levee and assume that they have a level of flood protection that doesn’t exist,” she said. “Levees aren’t a guarantee. The best protection is to not be in the floodplain in the first place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though the Central Valley’s levees seem to have withstood the water that flowed after Trump’s surprise executive order, the brief surge put stress on an already precarious system, Willis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The decision to release this much water this quickly,” she said, “increased the flood risk of the communities that the Army Corps of Engineers is tasked with protecting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Pinter put it, “That risk never goes away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California saw the consequences of that risk in 2023, when a levee along the Pajaro River that was decades overdue for maintenance \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11944295/were-survivors-scenes-from-pajaro-after-the-water-finally-receded\">failed during a winter storm\u003c/a>, flooding a Monterey County community that housed a vulnerable farmworker community of about 1,200.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same year, winter storms \u003ca href=\"https://www.kvpr.org/local-news/2023-03-22/officials-keep-eye-on-corcorans-levee-as-water-fills-tulare-lake\">threatened to breach a levee in the Central Valley town of Corcoran\u003c/a>, which would have put the city of about 22,000 underwater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=science_1994168]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These recent levee failures point to a growing concern in California: as climate change brings more intense storms, the state’s levees are not prepared to handle them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no infrastructure that was built for a climate-changed future,” Willis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the bright side, Pinter noted, things have started to improve: “There is awareness in California that there was not 20 years ago.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who is most at risk?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Nationwide, a disproportionate number of people of color, people with less education and people living in poverty live behind levees, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2023EF003619\">2023 study by the American Geophysical Union\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study found that Hispanic people were the most overrepresented group living behind levees nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, this frequently means that low-income people, migrant farmworkers and undocumented people are disproportionately impacted, according to Michael Méndez, assistant professor of environmental policy and planning at UC Irvine. Many of those at risk are in the Central Valley, where hundreds of levees protect farmland and agricultural workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our communities that are low income are not able to prepare or safeguard from these disasters because they’re not being provided with adequate resources to do so,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are some of the most disenfranchised and stigmatized populations that are seen as being less worthy of infrastructure, resilience and upgrading,” he said. “It doesn’t happen by accident or by coincidence that time and time again, the same communities are being hurt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/national-weather-service\">National Weather Service\u003c/a>, another wave of showers on Thursday could worsen the flooding and mudslide risk as days of wet weather wear on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today is a lull or a break in the rainfall,” said Crystal Oudit, a meteorologist with the weather service’s Bay Area office. “The concern is that Thursday going into Friday, we’re going to get another push for rain, and because the soil’s already saturated, that can increase the risk of floods again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Wednesday morning, the Russian River at Guerneville had reached moderate flood levels, cresting at just over 36 feet around 8 a.m. It is expected to recede out of flood stage by the evening, but Oudit said a flood warning will remain in effect until Thursday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flood risk spurred evacuations of many trailer park communities along the banks of the lower Russian River near Guerneville and Healdsburg on Tuesday night. Sonoma County Supervisor Lynda Hopkins said the trailer parks and some apartments on both sides of the river around the unincorporated community can flood when the river hits 32 to 34 feet and was caught somewhat off guard by the evacuation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11723283\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11723283\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/GettyImages-631415386-e1549313950719.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cars drive on a flooded road in Guerneville in January 2017. The Russian River town is just downstream from Venado, a site in the northern Sonoma County hills that is one of the rainiest locations in California. On Tuesday, at least one school in Guerneville closed because of the storm, and Sonoma County alerted residents in multiple RV parks along the Russian River and creeks that flow into the waterway that flooding may occur. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>She said historically, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration overestimates flood risk and then reduces down, but has done the opposite before Sonoma’s last few major storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was, unfortunately, what happened yesterday was what [was expected to be] barely a flood actually wound up being a moderate flood stage for us in the lower Russian River,” she told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Osborne, who lives off of residential Drake Road in Guerneville, said that even though houses in his area aren’t taking on water, they have been trapped by floodwaters since late Tuesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that when there’s a storm, it’s not uncommon for everyone who lives along the dead-end residential street, which has about a dozen offshoots, to get stuck because of an especially low spot as the road hits the on-ramp to the bridge that crosses the Russian River. It was sitting in about four feet of water midday Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12025572 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/Russian-River-flooding-15_qed-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the only road out from all of the homes out here,” Osborne told KQED. He said that there isn’t much he thinks can be done to alleviate the issue, since it would require a lot of real estate and expensive renovation to lift the low-lying part of the road enough to avoid flood risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even when Guerneville itself isn’t impacted, this road will close because [it’s] at such a low point,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osborne expects the flooding to go down enough to cross the road by Wednesday night, but if there are any showers in the afternoon, it could mean at least another day of being flooded in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Creeks throughout central Sonoma County also reached moderate flood levels early Wednesday. Green Valley Creek at Martinelli Road and Colgan Creek near Sebastopol are both expected to follow a similar receding trend as the Russian River, but the risk remains high at Mark West Creek near Mirabel Heights, which is projected to crest above major flood levels. It had reached 65 feet as of 7:45 a.m., according to NWS observations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa, flood risk downtown at the Napa River was downgraded Wednesday morning after an earlier forecast projected major flooding risk. It hovered around 23.5 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flood gates on McKinstry Street near downtown’s Oxbow Market were closed by the Napa County Flood District and the city on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County spokesperson Linda Weinreich said that street teams were assessing mudslides that began overnight near Moore Creek Park in St. Helena and on Redwood Road near Oak Knoll and were trying to clear downed trees while there’s a break in the rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the forecast “shows that the rains are returning tomorrow — things, of course, could change — but it’s a good time to get sandbags,” she said. “And we want people also to sign up for emergency notifications.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The return of rain on Thursday could bring downtown 1.5 inches more rainfall to Sonoma and Napa counties, according to Oudit. Gusty winds could knock down more trees and power lines, and more showers could exacerbate current road flooding and ponding near buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The challenge is that there’s not enough time to actually do anything,” Hopkins said. “I think that we’re all going to be waiting on pins and needles to see if that damage spreads.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resources for Sonoma County evacuees and people who experienced flooding will be available at the West County Services Center, known to locals as the Bank of America building in downtown Guerneville, in the coming days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the storm clears later this week, Hopkins said the county will look at how to better prepare for future storms. Her office has been working on safety and evacuation procedures with parks, trying to secure contracts with towing companies ahead of time, and looking for ways to give people longer warning windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Forestville Youth Park, where many evacuees fled Tuesday, quickly reached capacity, so the county also opened its Guerneville park-and-ride for trailers. Hopkins said during greater floods, though, that location would be underwater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also have to be careful if suddenly flood estimates are jumping up by a number of feet, then we run the risk of putting people in a place that could actually flood as well,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mudslides, like a large one that damaged roads and carried an unoccupied home into the river in Forestville on Tuesday afternoon, are more challenging to prepare for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is that we have a lot of homes that were built along old logging roads on extraordinarily steep slopes right next to the Russian River, which is one of the most powerful, sort of flashiest rivers,” Hopkins said. “When all of that water starts coming down, it can rise very, very quickly and have a tremendous amount of force. There’s not a whole lot that we can do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopkins said efforts will also shift to assessing damage and beginning eexpensive repairs — like to a road that fell into the Russian River during Tuesday’s mudslide — that need to be done before fire season in the spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are critical evacuation routes during fire season and those kinds of projects — that kind of permitting — takes a really long time to actually get through,” she told KQED. “One of our biggest challenges is how can we deal with the flood damage in time to prepare for a wildfire season?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The Russian River town is just downstream from Venado, a site in the northern Sonoma County hills that is one of the rainiest locations in California. On Tuesday, at least one school in Guerneville closed because of the storm, and Sonoma County alerted residents in multiple RV parks along the Russian River and creeks that flow into the waterway that flooding may occur. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>She said historically, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration overestimates flood risk and then reduces down, but has done the opposite before Sonoma’s last few major storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was, unfortunately, what happened yesterday was what [was expected to be] barely a flood actually wound up being a moderate flood stage for us in the lower Russian River,” she told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Osborne, who lives off of residential Drake Road in Guerneville, said that even though houses in his area aren’t taking on water, they have been trapped by floodwaters since late Tuesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that when there’s a storm, it’s not uncommon for everyone who lives along the dead-end residential street, which has about a dozen offshoots, to get stuck because of an especially low spot as the road hits the on-ramp to the bridge that crosses the Russian River.

He said that there isn’t much he thinks can be done to alleviate the issue, since it would require a lot of real estate and expensive renovation to lift the low-lying part of the road enough to avoid flood risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even when Guerneville itself isn’t impacted, this road will close because [it’s] at such a low point,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osborne expects the flooding to go down enough to cross the road by Wednesday night, but if there are any showers in the afternoon, it could mean at least another day of being flooded in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Creeks throughout central Sonoma County also reached moderate flood levels early Wednesday. Green Valley Creek at Martinelli Road and Colgan Creek near Sebastopol are both expected to follow a similar receding trend as the Russian River, but the risk remains high at Mark West Creek near Mirabel Heights, which is projected to crest above major flood levels. It had reached 65 feet as of 7:45 a.m., according to NWS observations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa, flood risk downtown at the Napa River was downgraded Wednesday morning after an earlier forecast projected major flooding risk. It hovered around 23.5 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flood gates on McKinstry Street near downtown’s Oxbow Market were closed by the Napa County Flood District and the city on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County spokesperson Linda Weinreich said that street teams were assessing mudslides that began overnight near Moore Creek Park in St. Helena and on Redwood Road near Oak Knoll and were trying to clear downed trees while there’s a break in the rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the forecast “shows that the rains are returning tomorrow — things, of course, could change — but it’s a good time to get sandbags,” she said. “And we want people also to sign up for emergency notifications.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The return of rain on Thursday could bring downtown 1.5 inches more rainfall to Sonoma and Napa counties, according to Oudit. Gusty winds could knock down more trees and power lines, and more showers could exacerbate current road flooding and ponding near buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The challenge is that there’s not enough time to actually do anything,” Hopkins said. “I think that we’re all going to be waiting on pins and needles to see if that damage spreads.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resources for Sonoma County evacuees and people who experienced flooding will be available at the West County Services Center, known to locals as the Bank of America building in downtown Guerneville, in the coming days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the storm clears later this week, Hopkins said the county will look at how to better prepare for future storms. Her office has been working on safety and evacuation procedures with parks, trying to secure contracts with towing companies ahead of time, and looking for ways to give people longer warning windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Forestville Youth Park, where many evacuees fled Tuesday, quickly reached capacity, so the county also opened its Guerneville park-and-ride for trailers. Hopkins said during greater floods, though, that location would be underwater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also have to be careful if suddenly flood estimates are jumping up by a number of feet, then we run the risk of putting people in a place that could actually flood as well,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mudslides, like a large one that damaged roads and carried an unoccupied home into the river in Forestville on Tuesday afternoon, are more challenging to prepare for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is that we have a lot of homes that were built along old logging roads on extraordinarily steep slopes right next to the Russian River, which is one of the most powerful, sort of flashiest rivers,” Hopkins said. “When all of that water starts coming down, it can rise very, very quickly and have a tremendous amount of force. There’s not a whole lot that we can do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopkins said efforts will also shift to assessing damage and beginning eexpensive repairs — like to a road that fell into the Russian River during Tuesday’s mudslide — that need to be done before fire season in the spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are critical evacuation routes during fire season and those kinds of projects — that kind of permitting — takes a really long time to actually get through,” she told KQED. “One of our biggest challenges is how can we deal with the flood damage in time to prepare for a wildfire season?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
