- Potential impacts...small streams and creeks that have been running low the last few weeks will experience significant rises. The potential will increase for mud and rock slides tonight through Thursday as soils become increasingly saturated. Steep slopes are most prone to mud and rock slides. Precautionary/preparedness actions... In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are potentially dangerous during periods of run-off caused by excessive rain. Do not attempt to travel across flooded roads. Find alternate routes. It takes only a few inches of swiftly flowing water to carry vehicles away. Campers should not set up Camp along creeks and streams. Rapid rises may threaten your campsite very quickly. To report flooding...have the nearest law enforcement agency relay your report to the National Weather Service forecast office.
