New aerial video from Saturday shows a waterlogged Russian River Valley, shot from 'Sonoma One,' the County Fire District's new chopper.
Saturday's reconnaissance mission showed swollen creeks and lagoons which normally take overflow from the Russian River, now reaching the top of their banks.
"I think the flooding we're going to see will reach disaster proportions, getting into businesses, residences and cutting off access roads," Heine said. "Right now, we don't have any power, we haven't had power since Wednesday afternoon," said Danniel Falcon-Schneider."Looks like a tornado went through. You couldn't see the asphalt, just all the branches," said Falcon-Schneider."My biggest fear is being stuck on the other side of Guerneville: west," he added.
"They've been busy not only training but pre-surveying our creeks and streams finding problem spots so we're doing everything we can to be prepared," said Santa Rosa Fire Marshal Paul Lowenthal.
