An undetermined number of homes have been destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11782314]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evacuations were ordered late Wednesday in the sparsely populated area in the hills east of Cloverdale. Mandatory evacuation orders expanded before dawn Thursday to include the town of Geyserville, a community of about 900 centered at the junction of U.S. 101 and Highway 128 about 20 miles north of Santa Rosa. Evacuation orders have been issued for approximately 2,000 people, Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick said during a noon press conference on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not the time to stay. It's the time to leave,\" Essick said about residents resistant to the evacuation orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick said an evacuation warning has also been issued for the unincorporated area north of Healdsburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The blaze, dubbed the Kincade Fire, started just before 9:30 p.m. Wednesday and had consumed an estimated 10,000 acres on both sides of the Sonoma-Lake county line by 4 a.m. Thursday. It was 0% contained.

But the main issue is that it's an atmospheric river of moderate intensity that's lasting for many, many hours in the same place, and the accumulation of water over that period is really quite substantial.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rainiest locations in the Russian River watershed have received more than a foot of rain since the storm's onset early Monday, with the rain gauge at Venado, west of Healdsburg, recording a total of 16.16 inches through 7 p.m. Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly impressive amounts have been recorded throughout the area. Warm Springs Dam, on Dry Creek northwest of Healdsburg, has reported 7.94 inches during the storm. Santa Rosa has received 5.73 inches; Mount Veeder, west of the city of Napa, has recorded 10.12 inches; and Yountville, on the floor of the Napa Valley, has gotten 6.69 inches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heavy rainfall started rapid rises on the Napa River, which is forecast to reach flood stage at St. Helena and the city of Napa, though not to the potentially disastrous levels forecast for the Russian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The river forecast center said the Napa would crest late tonight \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnrfc.noaa.gov/graphicalRVF.php?id=SHEC1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at St. Helena\u003c/a> at about 3 feet above flood stage.

One area of concern is the Sonoma Valley County Sanitation District, which experienced \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11720294/sonoma-spills-spewed-nearly-3-million-gallons-of-sewage-into-creeks-and-bay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sewage overflow problems\u003c/a> after heavy rains in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our crews were out all night responding to issues from the rain,\" said Ann DuBay of the Sonoma County Water Agency, which runs the sanitation district. \"It’s unbelievable how much water we're seeing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district reported late Tuesday morning it was contending with four ongoing wastewater overflows, with a total of about 159,000 gallons of sewage and stormwater released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Marin, the Ross Valley Sanitation District said it had contingency plans in place as the storm challenged its system's capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This evening’s cloudbursts could push our ability to keep the wastewater in the sewers, and our crews are showing signs of fatigue,\" said Steve Moore, the district's general manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Napa River is also expected to flood late Tuesday into Wednesday — though not to the disastrous extent predicted for the Russian River. Moderate flooding is forecast for areas along the river from St. Helena to the city of Napa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forecast flooding on the North Bay rivers is the result of an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1935067/rivers-in-the-sky-what-you-need-to-know-about-atmospheric-river-storms\">atmospheric river\u003c/a>-fed storm that has remained focused on a narrow area of the North Bay counties since early Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That rich flow of moisture-laden air, coupled with a slow-moving cold front draped across the coast just to the north, has resulted in spectacular rainfall totals in the Russian River drainage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heaviest rainfall total in the current storm: 11.03 inches, recorded through 10 a.m. Tuesday at the northern Sonoma County rain gauge in Venado, west of Healdsburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other notable totals include Mount Veeder, west of Napa, 7.83; Olema, 5.47; Kentfield, 4.93; Mount Tamalpais, 4.68; and Santa Rosa, 3.97.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More modest amounts fell to the south, including Richmond, 1.50; Vollmer Peak (Berkeley Hills), 1.32; San Francisco, .40; and Oakland, .34. Most Peninsula and East Bay locations have gotten just a few hundredths of an inch of rain from the storm. A rain gauge near Boulder Creek in the Santa Cruz Mountains — a dependably soggy spot — has gotten a scant .63 of an inch since the storm began. San Jose International Airport had recorded zero rainfall as of 10 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gusty winds accompanying the storm have led to power outages around the region, with PG&E saying early Tuesday it was working to restore electricity to about 12,000 customers. The biggest outage, by far, was for a stretch of the San Mateo County coast outside the heavy rain zone, where the lights were out for about 9,400 customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forecasters and weather models suggest that will change by Wednesday morning as the approaching cold front finally moves through the region and rainfall — heavy at times — is more evenly distributed. Showery weather is expected to continue into Thursday before a brief break on Friday. More rain is expected over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 5:50 p.m. Monday:\u003c/strong> Rain has returned to the Bay Area — or part of it anyway, as our latest atmospheric river-fed storm pours most of its abundant supply of moisture on the North Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heaviest rainfall total in the current storm: 4.08 inches, recorded through 5 p.m. at the northern Sonoma County rain gauge in Venado, west of Healdsburg. Rainfall amounts fall off dramatically to the south, and include Mount Veeder, west of the Napa Valley, 1.50; Santa Rosa, 1.08; San Rafael (Marin Civic Center), .91; Mount Tamalpais, .78; Vollmer Peak (Berkeley Hills), .29; Richmond, .18; San Francisco, .11; and Oakland, .05.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Virtually no rain had been recorded by midafternoon Monday in bayside and valley locations south of a line from Daly City to Livermore, except for a few hundredths of an inch recorded at several stations in the Santa Cruz Mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Weather Service says that through late Monday, heavy rainfall will be confined almost exclusively to the North Bay before moving slowly south early Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The copious rainfall in Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties is forecast to cause a new round of flooding on the lower reaches of the Russian River. The normally sluggish stream is expected to reach flood stage at Guerneville before dawn Wednesday and to crest Wednesday evening at about 6.5 feet above flood stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Napa River, too, is expected to overflow early Wednesday, reaching 2 feet above flood stage and inundating areas adjacent to the river on the northern and southern ends of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Original post (last updated 8:40 a.m. Monday):\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet another winter storm fed by an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1935067/rivers-in-the-sky-what-you-need-to-know-about-atmospheric-river-storms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">atmospheric river\u003c/a> is expected to bring 9 inches of rain or more to the wettest locations of the North Bay, triggering another round of flooding on the lower reaches of the Russian River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sierra Nevada, which has already received an epic snowfall this season, could see another 10 feet at the highest elevations and 5 to 7 feet at pass levels by Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the storm crawling south along the coast, the National Weather Service issued flood watches for most of the Bay Area.

"content": "\u003cp>If you were in the North Bay exactly one year ago, you probably remember the wind. Powerful gusts of nearly 80 miles per hour helped fuel some of the deadliest and most destructive fires in state history as they burned at a rate of more than a football field every minute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For composer \u003ca href=\"https://www.pauldooley.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paul Dooley \u003c/a>that was the starting point for “Sonoma Strong,” an original composition commissioned by the Santa Rosa Symphony. The symphony debuted the work at a free concert this summer and has decided to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sonomacounty.com/sonoma-events/santa-rosa-symphony-passion-and-power-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">perform it again\u003c/a> for its season opener on Oct. 6, 7 and 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to capture some of the wind and some of the energy from that night [on Oct. 8 last year],” said Dooley, a Santa Rosa native who teaches at the University of Michigan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To do that he used something you won’t typically find in a symphony: massive musical tubes called whirlies. You swing them around over your head and they make a soft whistling sound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The swirling of the whirlies sort of looks a little bit like a siren — it can kind of evoke that feeling,” he said. “But it’s also a very beautiful sound, so I figured it might be an elegant way to capture some of the energy from that night.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The whirlies are set to multiple trumpet solos. After a while, the strings come in and the piece begins to build.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And that transforms into a sort of ominous climax, marking the halfway point of the piece,” Dooley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That climax evokes the devastation of the October fires, which destroyed thousands of homes and killed 44 people — devastation that was certainly felt by the Santa Rosa Symphony. According to Santa Rosa Symphony President and CEO Alan Silow, 22 families closely connected to the symphony lost their homes in the fires, including members of the board, musicians and staff. A number of the organizations’ major donors and subscribers also lost their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The symphony had to cancel and postpone concerts and call off their annual donation campaign, as many of the symphony’s staff were forced to evacuate from their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still paid our staff for the time they had to miss, we still paid our musicians for the concerts we had to cancel, because we thought that was the right thing to do,” Silow said. “But obviously that also impacted us, fiscally speaking, as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, Silow said, they’re beginning to move toward recovery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if I would say it’s triumph, but we’re definitely in recovery,” he said. “And I think whenever tragedies hit like that, the silver lining is it brings out the best of people. It has definitely brought out the best of people in Sonoma County.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a sentiment that Dooley worked to capture in “Sonoma Strong.” After the piece’s ominous climax, there’s a marked change in tone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New instruments enter. The key changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The piece transitions to what I would call the rebirth,” he said. “And it’s the first entrance of the woodwinds: the flutes, the oboes, the clarinets and the bassoons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the “rebirth” portion, Dooley builds off of the themes he established at the beginning of the piece but with new instruments and a different tone, giving it a “more heroic and celebratory fashion and feel,” according to Dooley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That heroism and celebration — the feeling of triumph that comes along with rebuilding — is what Dooley hopes sticks with the audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hoping that through the transformation of the piece, people are somewhat reminded of what happened last year, but are given a new outlook. Or the piece helps them transform their view of the horror of [the wildfires] into something positive and something that can bring the community together, as the construction and rebuilding continues,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Santa Rosa Symphony will perform “Sonoma Strong” on Monday, Oct. 8 at 6:30 pm at the Green Music Center at Sonoma State University.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>If you were in the North Bay exactly one year ago, you probably remember the wind. Powerful gusts of nearly 80 miles per hour helped fuel some of the deadliest and most destructive fires in state history as they burned at a rate of more than a football field every minute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For composer \u003ca href=\"https://www.pauldooley.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paul Dooley \u003c/a>that was the starting point for “Sonoma Strong,” an original composition commissioned by the Santa Rosa Symphony. The symphony debuted the work at a free concert this summer and has decided to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sonomacounty.com/sonoma-events/santa-rosa-symphony-passion-and-power-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">perform it again\u003c/a> for its season opener on Oct. 6, 7 and 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to capture some of the wind and some of the energy from that night [on Oct. 8 last year],” said Dooley, a Santa Rosa native who teaches at the University of Michigan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To do that he used something you won’t typically find in a symphony: massive musical tubes called whirlies. You swing them around over your head and they make a soft whistling sound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The swirling of the whirlies sort of looks a little bit like a siren — it can kind of evoke that feeling,” he said. “But it’s also a very beautiful sound, so I figured it might be an elegant way to capture some of the energy from that night.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

After a while, the strings come in and the piece begins to build.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And that transforms into a sort of ominous climax, marking the halfway point of the piece,” Dooley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That climax evokes the devastation of the October fires, which destroyed thousands of homes and killed 44 people — devastation that was certainly felt by the Santa Rosa Symphony. According to Santa Rosa Symphony President and CEO Alan Silow, 22 families closely connected to the symphony lost their homes in the fires, including members of the board, musicians and staff. A number of the organizations’ major donors and subscribers also lost their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The symphony had to cancel and postpone concerts and call off their annual donation campaign, as many of the symphony’s staff were forced to evacuate from their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still paid our staff for the time they had to miss, we still paid our musicians for the concerts we had to cancel, because we thought that was the right thing to do,” Silow said. “But obviously that also impacted us, fiscally speaking, as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, Silow said, they’re beginning to move toward recovery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if I would say it’s triumph, but we’re definitely in recovery,” he said. “And I think whenever tragedies hit like that, the silver lining is it brings out the best of people. It has definitely brought out the best of people in Sonoma County.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a sentiment that Dooley worked to capture in “Sonoma Strong.” After the piece’s ominous climax, there’s a marked change in tone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New instruments enter. The key changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The piece transitions to what I would call the rebirth,” he said. “And it’s the first entrance of the woodwinds: the flutes, the oboes, the clarinets and the bassoons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the “rebirth” portion, Dooley builds off of the themes he established at the beginning of the piece but with new instruments and a different tone, giving it a “more heroic and celebratory fashion and feel,” according to Dooley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That heroism and celebration — the feeling of triumph that comes along with rebuilding — is what Dooley hopes sticks with the audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hoping that through the transformation of the piece, people are somewhat reminded of what happened last year, but are given a new outlook. Or the piece helps them transform their view of the horror of [the wildfires] into something positive and something that can bring the community together, as the construction and rebuilding continues,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Santa Rosa Symphony will perform “Sonoma Strong” on Monday, Oct. 8 at 6:30 pm at the Green Music Center at Sonoma State University.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
