First shot, backing the water out. It was mostly down in this side. Now we have to go to the zbagar. Reporter the water flooded the area. Earlier in the day, the family shows swiftmoving water that is knee deep in some places. The only good thing is it did not get inside the house. This takes a lot of water, but it handles it. If there is a problem up stream and it clogs, it just goes crazy. Reporter it left a crazy mess. This is the creek most people were concerned about in fairfax. The Fairfax CreekRose Steadily through the day. People who live along its banks say it was nerve racking. It was just underneath where the road is. And i was a little concerned.

Thank you, jean, part of highway one through marin county is closed right now because of flooding. The chp tweeting out this picture just south of point reyes, just north of bear valley road. We want to give you a closer look at how the water rose in marin county. The Ross Fire Department captured this at the creek, all happening within just a few hours. Now, they were bracing for the worst of the storm, but the rain stopped just in the nick of time. If you lived here in 2005 you remember what it looked like 11 years ago. Police station and businesses all badly damaged by water. Now, the creek today has a 13foot flood stage and its banks were not breached. At least not this time. But still, a little too close for comfort for people who remember 2005. 2005 was a big deal. And tonight, it almost happened. And they evacuated everyone. And a lot of families were here. We were asking them to leave. Reporter those evacuations tonight were voluntary happens around 5 00 this evening.

I just spoke to the battalion fire chief here, he says there are no reports of floods. Caltrans crews worked in teams along highway nine this evening, stopping wherever storm drains may be clogged with debris, highways saw runoff and streaming across roads. Tonight, this huge tree was uprooted in boulder creek. In the fire zone, there were more than 4400 blackened acres, or a long way from being able to absorb the rains. That is starting to get heavy. If you look at the bank here, and that eventually will slide on to the road. There is so much more runoff here because of the burn scar that normally it would absorb nicely. Reporter closer to santa cruz, the San Lorenzo River did not overflow, but here, too, they found the shortest route possible. Now the fire was two and a half months ago, just seems like yesterday to a lot of people. As you saw by the pictures earlier, the landscape is very baren.
