The new and improved Elk River. Still from Jasmine Monroe’s video.

As ever, one of the first places in Humboldt County to go amphibian during these recent rains is Elk River Road. Friends of the LoCO Leah Rosa and Jasmine Monroe have posted videos to the LoCO Facebook wall showing where things stand as of right about now.

Elsewhere: Scanner Traffic Indicates Team Member “Just-In” has added the Humboldt County Roads Department to northern Humboldt scanner feed for the nonce, so we’ve been attempting to chronicle some of the to-and-froing of their road workers over there on the STI page. Follow. 

Another annual flood spot, the Hookton Road offramp on 101 through Loleta, is currently closed due to flooding. A tree momentarily shut down northbound Myrtle Avenue by Mitchell Heights Road, but the county handled that tout de suite.

How about you? Check in, Humboldt! If you’re flooded, let us know and maybe show us how subaqueous you are with a photograph or two.

Small stream flooding is being reported on many of the low stream crossings in the Humboldt Bay area. Please do not drive on flooded roads.
