Julie Bower photographed the Gualala River on Tuesday and again this morning. After the river-of-rain deluges on Monday and Tuesday, the river full to the brim. By Wednesday morning the river was flowing completely over much of the sandbar.

So far, so good when it comes to this river. Other rivers, especially the Russian River, are flooding badly today. We received 9.60 inches from this rain event, bringing us to 47 inches season to date.

Thanks to Julie for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

Many roads are either flooded or blocked by landslides. With the Garcia River flooding Highway One north of Point Arena, and other roads south of Point Arena closed, we are effectively blocked on the coast today. If you are thinking of coming here, best to wait a few days.
