An atmospheric river brought additional rain, strong winds, and flooding to the Bay Area Tuesday, triggering evacuation orders for the area around the Russian River in Sonoma County.

Sonoma County drenched by deluge that reached a peak Tuesday, raising the Russian River toward flood stage, closing dozens of roads, including HIghway 101 in Windsor, and causing mudslides, one of which sent a Forestville vacation home into the Russian River.

The NWS says excessive rainfall is expected to cause flooding along the Russian River, affecting roadways and agricultural land.

The Russian River in Sonoma Couty reached moderate flood stage Wednesday and was expected to peak. People in low-lying areas were told to evacuate last night, but some residents have stayed put and are now stuck in their homes waiting for the water to subside.

The mudslide was reported at approximately 12:30 p.m. at the intersection of Westside Road and Rio Vista Road in Forestville, the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post. The house, which was unoccupied, was later spotted downstream, Wood said.

Even as the rain has subsided for the day, evacuation orders are still in place for low-lying areas around the Russian River between Healdsburg and Jenner after a home was pushed into the swollen river.

According to a Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office social media post, the house was unoccupied and fell due to a mudslide.
