Larry Owens said he’s had enough of this weather. “I’m ready for sun. That’s why I moved to California 35 years ago for the sun,” he said.
The next weather system is not expected to bring as much rain, but weather officials nevertheless cautioned that "considerable flooding" could occur in lower elevations from additional rain and snowmelt that could swell creeks and streams.She said the soil started moving Friday night during the last big storm. Acosta heard a loud crack and realized the hill was sliding.
"I just happened to look and there was al little crack and I was like, oh no that’s not a good sign," said Acosta. "All night we could kind of hear cracking. It was the fence continuing to break because the hillside was continuing to shift." By Sunday, a landslide knocked down the fence and pushed mud against a neighbor’s house. Two homes were red-tagged. One home was yellow-tagged.
Paul Lowenthal, the Santa Rosa fire marshal, said this hillside, which is East of Cooper Drive, first started having issues in January during another series of storms. The hillside was tarped and sandbagged. Geotechnical engineers were brought in. But the relentless rain pushed saturation levels to the limit. "In the past couple days the mud has continued to migrate off the hill and is up against at least one of the homes right now," said Lowenthal. "What we expect with the next round Monday and Tuesday is rapid rises of creeks and streams," said Lowenthal. "What that does is it starts backing up our storm drain systems.
