A significant landslide in Forestville, California, caused an unoccupied home to tumble into the Russian River, prompting local authorities to issue evacuations for nearby residents. The event occurred at approximately 12:30 p.m. near the Forest Hills-Hacienda Bridge, with the home floating downstream. While no injuries were reported, there are concerns about the stability of the surrounding hillside. In light of ongoing severe weather, including strong winds and heavy rainfall from an atmospheric river, authorities are continuing to monitor the situation closely.
According to authorities, the home slid into the river around 12:30 p.m. near the Forest Hills-Hacienda Bridge and is floating downstream.
They say their priority right now is getting people out of the area so they can do their work.
The atmospheric river moving through the San Francisco Bay Area will be at its worst from 1 p.m. - 7 p.m.
Authorities are also warning that the storm isn't over and water is still rising on the Russian River which is expected to crest Wednesday morning.
