Well we made it through the first round of storms with little to no damage in the immediate area.
Saturday Forecast :
Unfortunately, this storm battered us badly. Many trees down and flooded roadways, slides and mud flows.
Kym has a report here. And much more info coming in from the comments area as people get out and see what the damage is, so keep checking back on this one.
I talked with Marty Messenger, County Roads Supervisor, to get the most local updated info on Sunday morning at about 9am.
Update from Marty:
Briceland Thorn Road is passable (but flooded) at the Whittemore Grove bridge.
Camp Kimtu Road is closed – the river is over the road.
They are keeping the bluffs clear, but it’s muddy there.
They are finishing up a slide on Sprowel Creek Rd.
The roads are open from Whitethron and Ettersburg into Redway and Garberville.
I will update this as news comes in.
