The Plumas County Sheriff’s Office issued a flash flood/debris flow watch from late Thursday evening into Friday.
Moderate to heavy rain is expected through Friday morning and could bring ash and debris flows over the burn scars. All areas within and adjacent to the Dixie Fire and North Complex burn scars are at risk.
Debris flows are dangerous, rapidly moving landslides that can be triggered within 15 minutes of a rainfall event. Steep slopes, canyons, gorges and the mouths of mountain streams are the locations at greatest risk. Persons in homes or vehicles are at risk of serious injury when in these locations.
An oncoming debris flow may include the sound of rushing water, changes in water from clear to muddy, or the sound of large rocks crashing into each other.
You should monitor forecasts and be prepared to take action should flash flood warnings be issued.
The sheriff’s office will continue to monitor this storm and will issue additional messages should the WATCH be updated or if conditions worsen and cause threat to public safety. Evacuation Warning and Orders could be issued and you should pay attention to future messages.
