The breeches occurred after stream gauges hit 1,040 cubic feet per second, signaling high spring runoff.<\/p>\n
Heavy rain is expected around 11 p.m., raising flood concerns in North Vallecito, the fire district said.<\/p>\n
The district said it has activated equipment, prepared emergency contacts, and is urging residents to avoid creek banks, which may be unstable and prone to erosion.<\/p>\n
Officials are urging motorists to drive slowly and carefully as they may encounter debris and mud on the roads throughout the county.<\/p>\n
Officials cite the October 2006 flood, when debris and rising waters damaged flood control structures and forced evacuations of at least 18 homes.<\/p>\n
Rising water levels are also being reported in parts of San Juan County, where officials are warning that some minor flooding may occur. <\/p>\n
