SISKIYOU COUNTY, Calif. — Severe weather caused Caltrans District 2 to close both the eastbound and westbound lanes of Siskiyou State Route 96.

The closure is about two miles east of Horse creek to Doggett Creek Bridge. Caltrans says the cause is flooding.

According to the California Highway Patrol, "widespread flooding" was reported just after 10:30 p.m. Monday night east of Horse Creek.

The dams aren’t gone yet, are they? They just approved the demolition of them.

Of course, the flooding will be LOTS worse than what is happening this week once they are removed.

They yanked one out towards the end where it dumps into the ocean.

I drove through there on 97 last night, and had 200-300 miles of nonstop rain. Heavy torrents. from Chumash OR to Corning, CA.

My daughter and fiancé decided to take a last-minute Christmas week trip to Arcata and then ride the Skunk Train. Sounds like they probably got some serious storm-watching in.

There has been at least one removed a while ago.

Chiloquin Dam on the Sprague river, which is a tributary of the klamath was removed in 2008.

Seems like there have been more, but the Google gatekeeper stymied me from finding them.

I had to do some indirect searches to even track down the Chiloquin Dam reference.

Once the other dams come out the flooding that happens even with them still in place will be epic.

The Secretary of Transportation should fix it.

“The Secretary of Transportation should fix it.”

Actually I believe the Army Corps of Engineers might be able to help. If it’s not being run by woke trannies, anyway.
