Highway Closure Update & Road Pics after rains, 3/5/18

These are from Cal Trans:

Photos and video from this weekend’s rains show: (1-2) Mud Creek (PM 8.9) on Friday, (#2 is a video) March 2; (3-5) Chimney Slide (PM 20) from Friday, March 2 and Saturday, March 3; lastly, (6-7) Paul’s Slide (PM 21.6) from Friday, March 2. Pay attention to the Mud Creek slides. Hard to tell how significant they are from this photo.

Also, there are some indications of an atmospheric river setting up for Friday-Saturday, but it is still a bit early to tell. However, it does not hurt to prepare.
