As the second major storm in as many weeks descends upon the region, North Bay residents are bracing for the possibility of heavy rains and localized flooding along the Russian River.
Forecasts for Wednesday and overnight into Thursday call for up to 5 inches of rain in the coastal hills and up to 4 inches in higher elevation inland areas.
"And there's no rest for the weary, right?" Garcia said."We'll get another system coming through over the weekend and it will put more water into the Russian River watershed, and it could be back into flood stage once we get into Sunday afternoon." He said the vineyard has trellises along Sausal Creek, which runs about a mile to the Russian River and has flooded in the past.
He said a handful of small- to medium-sized streams run through his properties and none are even close to spilling over their banks and the river is looking fine, as well, at least so far.
