We could see mudslides, debris flow. Jessica flores is live for us in santa rosa. Reporter neda, as you said, that rain just keeps coming down here. Its not that strong right now but certainly stronger than the past couple of weeks. Thats causing concern because theres no vegetation in the burn areas to soak up the rain and also, the fire burned down underground pipes causing risk for sinkholes. So we have a Flash Flood Watch and crews out here concerned about those sinkholes. The sinkhole already opened up in the area over the weekend and crews were working to prepare that 4foot sinkhole. They are looking for burned plastic pipe. They have identified 20 years and that damage underground is increasing the possibility of sinkholes, especially here in the Fountain Grove community. Also the rain caused ash to flow, and they are trying to filter out debris. The water is safe to drink but it could wash that drink into watersheds. City officials are warning residents in the Fountain Grove area be prepared to evacuate if there are any mudslides, flooding or sinkholes. Theres been a lot of uncertainty about this and i think this is obviously New Territory for everybody. Nobody has been through this before. This is a magnitude no one has ever seen before. County and city officials are asking residents to remain vigilant. If you see any evidence of debris flow or buckling roads, call 911. Now, that Flash Flood Watch from 4 p. M. To 3 a. M. Tomorrow, a problem for quite some time because as i said, that fire burned through a lot of the vegetation that soaked up the rainfall.

Im Jessica Flores live in santa rosa where officials are preparing for possible flash flood conditions today. The burned out area doesnt have a lot of that vegetation that normally would soak up the rainfall. Also, crews are concerned about some burned underground piping that could cause more sinkholes, especially here in the Fountain Grove community. They have already had one sinkhole that crews have repaired over the weekend. Crews are also sending down cameras to look for any more burned plastic pipes. They say they have already found 20 years with possible damage that could possibly make more problems today and they are asking officials here in Fountain Grove if you see any of the buckling roads or you see any debris flow to call 911 right away. Crews are also laying down those hay tubes called wattles as they are trying to prevent any debris flow into waterways. And they dont want any of that toxic ash to get into the water supply. Now, the Flash Flood Warning remains in effect here today from4 p. M. Today to 3 a. M. Tomorrow morning. Live in santa rosa, im Jessica Flores, kpix 5. Time now 6 57. Time for your final 5.
