Eight homes along the Sacra- mento River on Steelhead Court in Los Molinos have lost land and part of their backyards due to the increase in water levels. Marilyn and Terry Orr have experienced roughly a 17-foot decrease in their property in the last three weeks due to erosion and are facing having to phys- ically move their home 90 feet closer to the road to avoid los- ing it. Marilyn said in the last three weeks the creek, which is con- nected to the Sacramento River, has doubled in size. One morning the Orr's heard a loud sound similar to thunder, Terry said. When they looked outside their bedroom window, which has views of the Sacra- mento River, they saw their back yard nearly crumble and the river undermining the banks below their property. Terry saw what looked like tidal waves crashing on his property. Others in that neighborhood are experiencing similar issues and will have to move their out- door furniture or other items in the backyard to avoid losing them. The Orrs said their neigh- bors have been extremely help- ful throughout the whole pro- cess, lending them space in their homes to store items while the home is lifted and moved. Other areas in the county are experiencing flooding due to the recent rainy weather and high water levels. In Gerber off San Benito some homes have signif- icant flooding and have sheds partially underwater. Tehama resident and former Mayor and Tehama County Su- pervisor Ron Warner said the city escaped flooding by just two inches, leaving at least his prop- erty and his neighbors' property without damage. Flood warnings are still in effect through Saturday near the Sacramento River at the Te- hama Bridge and at Woodson Bridge, according to the Na- tional Weather Service. The stage for Woodson Bridge was 182.5 feet at 1:45 p.m. Wednesday. It was forecasted to recede to near 180.5 feet. The Sacramento River is ex- pected to rise above the flood stage of 183 feet late Thursday morning. Thursday afternoon it is expected to rise near 184 feet and continue to rise. As of Wednesday afternoon the Woodson Bridge Park was closed due to flooding.
