Another round…. ☔️☔️

[OC Public Works @OCpublicworks]

Don't let break in the #rain fool you - we're not done. More expected today & continue thru at least tonight. Hillsides are extremely saturated & pose a danger. Creeks & riverbeds have good amount of water flowing thru them. Stay far back as conditions can be life-threatening.

[OC Public Works @OCpublicworks]

#Rain update: Our crews have been removing rocks and light mud from roads in Silverado, yet no major issues so far. Rain expected to increase this afternoon - we’ll be ready. If you have to drive, please drive slowly.

[OC Public Works @OCpublicworks]

A look at #Silverado Creek with only a couple inches of #rain - and heavier rain expected this afternoon. Stay far back from creeks & riverbeds during heavy rain as they can be life-threatening. #OrangeCounty
