Sonoma County officials are warning residents about the possibility of mudslides Wednesday night into Thursday in the areas burned by the Oct. 2017 North Bay wildfires.
Because of wet weather passing through the Bay Area, North Bay residents in and around the burn scar areas should be prepared for mudslides that could result in slippage.
Additionally, residents should be prepared for possible localized flooding, traffic impacts and high wind-related problems like falling trees and power outages.
Residents are advised to keep emergency kits nearby and to avoid driving through floodwaters.
