Between now and early tomorrow, well have a potential of getting 1 to 3 inches of rain. As we look at the timeline, still going to see times of some scattered rain and then when we start to see the yellows and the reds, that indicates the most intense rain along with the gusty winds. That does not make it into the north bay until later on this evening. Continues a very slower progressives into the south bay as well as the east bay into early tomorrow morning.

The straw waddles covering up drains where the debris could possibly go. Santa rosa fire tells me there are no evacuations in place, but residents understand conditions will dictate if that remains. There was a concern that we were going to be evacuating Fountain Grove. Thats not the case right now. We broke Fountain Grove up into several different zones and each one of those homes could have 70 to 200 homes. We realize with the concerns and slip aj, its going to be localized to one specific area. Were not naerl necessarily concerned about evacuating the whole hillside. It would be very isolated. Reporter so once again, those areas of concern are Fountain Grove and coffey park. Were going to see a primary focus for the crews checking on drains, hauling off any remaining debris and looking for issues with the underground piping. Remember, that prompted the concerns regarding sink holes. One of those sink holes, of course, they were able to fix. Take you back out here live to the Fountain Grove area.
