His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

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.

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",

"content": "\u003cp>Two people drowned in the Russian River last week amid Fourth of July celebrations and a record-breaking heat wave, prompting authorities to warn that the popular waterway spanning portions of Sonoma and Mendocino counties can still pose a danger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first swimmer, identified as Santa Rosa resident Nasoni Tuitoga, 28, was reported missing Wednesday evening after swimming near Villa Grande in Monte Rio, according to a statement from the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office. The man is thought to have suffered a medical emergency before disappearing under the water, said Monte Rio Fire Chief Steve Baxman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuitoga was found dead Friday afternoon in the same area he went missing after a days-long search by Sonoma County sheriff’s units, the Monte Rio Fire Department, and the Napa County Sheriff’s Office marine team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday evening, Sonoma County deputies responded to reports that a second man, identified Monday as Pedro Ramirez Lopez, was drowning near Monte Rio Beach. The sheriff’s office reported that a bystander administered CPR to the victim, a 50-year-old Richmond resident, on the shore until first responders arrived. They continued with lifesaving efforts upon arrival, but he was pronounced dead on the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baxman said that the number of people who die in the Russian River each year varies, but the number this year — at least four suspected drownings — is significant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some years we don’t have any, other years we have two or more, it just depends. This is getting to be more drownings than normal,” Baxman told KQED. He did not know how many people drowned in the river in 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We won’t have a drowning for a year or two and then we’ll have a couple,” he said. “You never know what the year is going to bring.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The popular swimming spot has been busier than usual this year, he said — especially amid a record heat wave in California that began last week, during which Monte Rio saw temperatures in the mid 90s and low 100s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are safety measures in place to help keep visitors safe, including the Sonoma Parks Department’s Russian River Patrol lifeguards, who roam popular beaches along the river during summer weekends. There are also signs in English and Spanish with information about the river and life jackets available to borrow, according to Baxman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though the river doesn’t have much of a current right now, Baxman said, it can still be dangerous, especially for non-swimmers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While it looks calm on the surface, the river can have strong currents, deep spots and drop-offs, and underwater debris. We urge everyone to practice water safety when they visit our beautiful river,” the sheriff’s office statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baxman said that people should still feel comfortable swimming in the river, but take necessary precautions based on their swimming skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want people to come up and enjoy the river. Please do that, but please be safe,” he said. “If you can’t swim, don’t go in the water. And if you do go in, please make sure you have some sort of flotation device.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Samantha Lim contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The man is thought to have suffered a medical emergency before disappearing under the water, said Monte Rio Fire Chief Steve Baxman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuitoga was found dead Friday afternoon in the same area he went missing after a days-long search by Sonoma County sheriff’s units, the Monte Rio Fire Department, and the Napa County Sheriff’s Office marine team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday evening, Sonoma County deputies responded to reports that a second man, identified Monday as Pedro Ramirez Lopez, was drowning near Monte Rio Beach. The sheriff’s office reported that a bystander administered CPR to the victim, a 50-year-old Richmond resident, on the shore until first responders arrived. They continued with lifesaving efforts upon arrival, but he was pronounced dead on the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baxman said that the number of people who die in the Russian River each year varies, but the number this year — at least four suspected drownings — is significant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There are also signs in English and Spanish with information about the river and life jackets available to borrow, according to Baxman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though the river doesn’t have much of a current right now, Baxman said, it can still be dangerous, especially for non-swimmers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While it looks calm on the surface, the river can have strong currents, deep spots and drop-offs, and underwater debris. We urge everyone to practice water safety when they visit our beautiful river,” the sheriff’s office statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baxman said that people should still feel comfortable swimming in the river, but take necessary precautions based on their swimming skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want people to come up and enjoy the river. Please do that, but please be safe,” he said. “If you can’t swim, don’t go in the water.
