An unoccupied Airbnb home in Forestville collapsed into the Russian River due to a mudslide amidst heavy rains. The incident occurred near the Hacienda Bridge, resulting in the erosion of the riverbank. Although the river was not at flood stage, rising waters and saturated soil posed risks for nearby homes, leading local authorities to conduct evacuations. The home, which was approximately 50 feet above the river, contributed to further debris flow down the river. Meanwhile, an evacuation was also underway at a nearby medical center due to flooding.
