With another round of rain coming, North Bay residents and businesses are concerned over how fast San Anselmo Creek can rise near the downtown area.
Matteo Boussina owns Taco Janes in downtown. The business was around during the New Years Eve flood of 2005 when floodwater from the San Anselmo Creek tore through town."After that point, the town really came together and that's when everybody started putting flood gates," Boussina said.
Boussina on Tuesday as part of preparing for the next round of rain was planning on fixing one of the sump pumps he installed following the 2005 flood. He also plans to clear out the drainage before the next storm hits. Carolyn Latham runs a physical therapy business out of her garage in San Anselmo, which has flooded during previous storms. Latham said she is not taking any chances with another storm on the way.Elsewhere around Sonoma County on Tuesday there was a good amount of minor flooding around Santa Rosa. Fire officials said the first storm did not trigger any major landslides near the Glass Fire burn scar.
"We fortunately did not have the volume of rain, trigger concerns we've been preparing for the last couple of years," Santa Rosa Fire Department spokesperson Paul Lowenthal said.
