I decided to switch my shift at the River from Sunday to Friday, so I could have some fun on New Years and not worry about my shift in the morning. So, I did. But to my surprise I ended up being in Guerneville when a major series of storms hit.

As many of you may have seen on TV, there was major flooding in many different counties, Sonoma County being one of them. Guerneville is right on the Russian River near the coast (the river runs right through the middle). So you can imagine what it was like.

Since this happened, switching my shift for the New Year didn't work out as planned, I ended up getting home on Monday night at 9pm. I worked 4 days on this flood, doing boat rescues, military aided evacuations, we responded to multiple gas related problems, and so much more.

I wont get into the details just yet because there is a lot to this story. But I will be posting a link to pictures of the incident. Keep an eye out for the updates...
