We wanted to come up here and check on the Russian River, keeping an eye on it because it is full. Its worth watching with another storm on the way. It is expected to reach flood stage again tomorrow morning and create some minor flooding. Heres what it looked like earlier this week when the rains hit. Some people did have to be helped out of their homes by firefighters when the water got up too high, it did go up above the flood stage again. This storm that were having today is also expected to cause some issues, but its not going to be as bad as what we saw last month. Just to give you something to compare it to. But some people up here are saying while they do appreciate the rain, they are getting a little tired of all of this, and theyd like to see the river go down and stay down.
