Re: Fires and Floods

Hi Cyndi, how are you? Guerneville isn't under water yet but they will be by tomorrow. The river is expected to crest at between 35-39' sometime tomorrow. Flood stage is 32'. Major flooding takes place beyond 42'.

You should try and drive in that area these days. Traffic is incredible on the weekends. We stay away as much as possible though my wife and I stayed at River's End a very nice hotel right where the river meets the ocean. We spent the entire weekend reading to each other. It was nice.

Thought I saw on the news that Guerneville was under
water yet again. My father & stepmother used to live
uphill from the river, near Duncan's Mills, and even
they got flooded a couple times. I sure liked the area
but I wouldn't live on the Russian River.

It has only flooded about 5 times in 10 years. Each
time it's a hundred
year storm.
