Redwood Meadows Emergency Services

	Flooding returned to us less than 2 weeks after we wrapped up the flood event that happened in the beginning of June. Here, Wild Rose Close is seen after the water has already receded. Water came out of Wild Rose Lake, to the left, and poured across the road, eroding the ditch and shoulder on the right side.
	The waterflow undercut the roadway by about 8 feet deep by 6 feet in. The road has been blocked by barricades.
	A gas main and power conduits were exposed by the onslaught of water.
	It would appear that the two phases of the power line and one of the gas line survived, but the third phase of power appears to be gone.
	The road is closed until crews can repair both it and the ditch and service mainways beside it.
	Be sure to stay away from areas such as this, as the ground all around the area may be very unstable.
	June 18, 1000 hrs .. West side causeway, looking south.. the shrubs at left are normally 8-10 feet to the right of the shoreline.
	East side causeway, also looking south.. There is a drain in the lake that uses a culvert (about 50 ft behind me to the right) to go under the road. Partially plugged, but also tremendously overtaxed, results in this. Note the 2" plastic gas main (orange-red pipe) at far left. Water pounding on it almost continuously, causing it to shudder non-stop.
	June 19, 0730 hrs .. West side again.. water level down but still overrunning the road.. can see more shrubberies to get a better idea of where the shoreline normally is.
	East side, looking northeast from the edge on the other side of the water from the above pic. Water level down tremendously here. Also, lots of earth gone compared to ~20 hrs ago. (Furthermore, notice white tubing below gas main, most likely for 3-phase electric service.)
	Looking north from the ditch toward the location where the first 'east' pic was shot the day before (far upper right of pic). Pavement is undercut about 3-4 feet behind waterfall.
	Another shot indicating where the utility mains are compared to the road and what the lake/creek thinks of their placement.
