Today’s Storm Events: The rain soaked the burn area (and the city) overnight but there was only minimal floodwater due to the low rainfall intensity. In the Mt. Elden Estates area we observed a small but continuous flow of water today, which tells us that the watershed is very saturated. This means that even moderate intensity rain events are likely to cause flooding.
