First responders urge the public to stay vigilant in getting ready for the next round of rain amid growing "storm fatigue."In the North Bay, it's been a race against time this weekend, to re-route a critical gas line around a landslide that's still active. A 14-mile stretch of southbound U.S. Highway 101 between Petaluma and Novato was closed overnight Sunday, allowing the work to take place.
Crews had to cut through the frontage road and Highway 101 to lay the temporary bypass on the median divide, then back across the freeway. The landslide happened during last Tuesday's bomb cyclone storm."The pipe was not damaged during that event, but we have additional weather systems coming in the days ahead. We wanted to have a contingency plan to ensure the delivery of utilities to Marin County," said Marin County spokesperson Laine Hendricks.
