These closures are common during any type of rain event and the city is not concerned about significant mudslides or erosion at this time. Residents are urged to avoid flooded areas. Residents should obey road barricades and signs; never “sightsee” in areas with flooding or try to cross a flowing stream. Strong currents can knock you off your feet with as little as six inches of water. Swiftly flowing water as shallow as one foot can easily sweep a car from the road.
