It’s a wet one out there, folks!

While this storm doesn’t appear to be as hellacious as promised, our friends at the National Weather Service (NWS) office on Woodley Island are reporting some minor flooding in the usual flood-prone spots around Humboldt Bay, including Old Arcata Road, Elk River Road and Howard Heights Road.

There’s a flood advisory in effect til 3:45 p.m. today, and it looks as though the drenching will persist into next week. Stay safe out there, Humboldt!
