Preparations are underway ahead of Thursday's storm, as firefighters say there's an increased risk of mudslides and debris flow in areas around the 2020 Glass Fire burn scars.
"Some of the rain fall we had off of our hills, specifically the Glass Fire burn scar, allowed a lot of water to flow much more than we anticipated, and that led to specific flooding within our community last year, and boats like this were deployed," Lowenthal explained."For us, that shows the potential is around here," Lowenthal said of the incident last year.
That's exactly what east Santa Rosa resident Robert Deschler was seen doing outside his home Wednesday afternoon."I'm just cleaning up the leaves because the street sweeper came by and did not pick up all the leaves, so I want to make sure it doesn't get into the gutters and potentially plug up the drain, and flood the streets and homes," Deschler explained.
"Last year, San Rafael experienced quite the flooding in downtown San Rafael," San Rafael PD Lt. Scott Eberle told ABC7 News. "This year we don't anticipate the storm to bring that sort of floods."
