CONCERNS FOR HEAVY FLOODING
The storm is also raising some flooding concerns in areas burned by the Creek Fire. Emergency Services officials are concerned that similar conditions this week could create hazards in burn scar areas.
Officials are also asking people to reconsider their trips to the Fresno County Mountains through Friday.
The areas most vulnerable to these natural disasters include Huntington Lake, Peterson road below Highway 168, Alder Springs and Big Creek.
Several county agencies are currently developing a plan that could include evacuations for some areas. The Red Cross is also preparing for the looming storm with volunteers on standby. They suggest residents put together an emergency kit with essential items, like water and a flashlight.
