Nearly 20 residents have been displaced after a mudslide flowed into the back of an apartment building in Fairfax Friday morning.
Around 10 a.m., authorities responded to Olema Road and when they arrived they confirmed a debris flow had slid into the back of six units. The building was evacuated and at least one unit was red-tagged.ABC7 Bay Area 24/7 streaming channelMarin County officials say they are working to provide shelter to those who were affected by this incident which includes 19 residents, seven dogs, four cats and a guinea pig.
"There's only so much water we can pump," said Jeff Weiss from Caltrans. "So if the rivers flood the highways, we'll need to close roads and implement detours -- which is something we're accustomed to doing, and we already have plans for such an event."The Russian River as of Friday was forecast to crest at the 32-foot level around 9 a.m. Sunday, according to county spokesperson Gina Stocker.
Out of an abundance of caution, Caltrans has simply shut down the intersection of state Highway 121 and state Highway 12 for the last two weeks, Weiss said, as the area is notorious for flooding.
