A big chunk of soggy earth spilled down onto Highway 101 near Fernbridge last night, closing the road to northbound traffic. It’s still closed as of this writing, though detours are available down side streets. Caltrans Facebook says:

Northbound U.S. Highway 101 just north of Fernbridge in Humboldt County is closed due to a slide.Traffic is being detoured unto a local road; allow extra time for travel.

Quite a few local roads are flooded out — mostly the usual suspects. The LoCO CHPWatch page is a good place to check if you want to know what the CHP knows about flooded highways or connector roads at any given time.
