Residents look at a flooded section of highway in Guerneville, Calif., on Wednesday. By Michael Brice-Saddler Michael Brice-Saddler General Assignment Reporter Email Bio Follow February 27 at 6:14 PM Severe flooding in Northern California has turned the small river town of Guerneville into an “island,” county officials said Wednesday, rendering the community inaccessible by anything other than watercraft.
“Good morning. Guerneville is officially an island,” the Sonoma sheriff’s office posted to Facebook on Wednesday. “Due to flooding all roads leading to the community are impassable. You will not be able to get into or out of town without a boat today.” Parts of the Sonoma region were hit by the deadly wildfires that ravaged Northern California in 2017, resulting in mass evacuations and the deaths of dozens in surrounding counties. At least six people died in Sonoma County.
The river is expected to crest at about 46 feet Wednesday night, according to the National Weather Service.
