Sonoma Co. school district closes Tuesday due to storm conditions
Ahead of Tuesday’s atmospheric river event, Mill Valley residents are watching the creeks very closely as Marin County is on Flood Watch alert.
The Arroyo Corte Madera del Presidio Creek is one of the main creeks flowing through Mill Valley, which runs alongside many homes and businesses. Residents were watching the creek closely on Monday ahead of the atmospheric river.
The Mill Valley Police Department sent a weather advisory to all its residents urging them to be prepared following the National Weather Service Flood Watch alert for Marin County and the City of Mill Valley.
Earlier Monday, crews worked to remove a large oak tree that fell just outside the Steele Lane Elementary School in Santa Rosa.
With strong winds expected through Tuesday, officials say it’s likely even more will tumble.
“We anticipate certainly some roadside sluffing, debris in the roadways. So again when people are driving be really careful and conscious out there,” said Cyndi Foreman, Sonoma County Fire District Division Chief.
The Southern Marin Fire District is ready to deploy an additional five engines, and the local office of emergency services water team is on standby.
