According to Caltrans, northern Humboldt County has nearly become an island due to the deluge of the past 24 hours. 

As of this post, Hwy. 101 is closed between Dinsmore Road in Fortuna and Hookton Road, north of Loleta, due to flooding. 

Flooding has also caused a closure of 101 between Bald Hills Road in Orick and the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway. 

State Route 211, aka Main Street in Fortuna Ferndale, is also closed near Nilsen Company for the same reason.

Stay safe out there, Humboldt. And for current conditions, check the road information Caltrans page by clicking here and entering 101, or whichever highway you’re interested in.
