I,ve dumped 7 inches since 10pm yesterday in Healdsburg. Usually we flood after 6 inches in a 24 hour period.Already close to monitor stage.And don,t forget the Russian River rises for 7 hours after the last raindrops in Healdsburg. 24-32hrs in Guernville.

This afternoon, I believe that the Russian hit an all time high for this date or December at the Cloverdale station.

We have the same problem over here. Downtown Napa has flooded hours after the storm has left the upper Napa river area and headed east.

It looks like a lot of 6 to 8 inch areas in the North Bay areas.

Below is the chart for the Russian at Cloverdale. They can't even chart the jump in the flow on a single chart. They had to use electronic cut and paste to show the flow.

I cancelled a steelhead trip last Tuesday because the water was so low on the Russian River:

An increase of flow from 120 cubic feet per second to over 6,000 in less than 24 hours is incredible.
