Residents along the Russian River in Sonoma County are gearing up for significant flooding as the next wave of storms rolls in.
"I’ve been here 30 years," Debra Johnson said."In '95, I lost everything in a flood. In '97, I lost everything in a flood. Then I moved to higher ground. It’s the price we pay for living in a beautiful area."
"We’re ready, we’re prepared," she said."It’s all about preparation around here. Once you get educated and things are marked, you kind of can totally have a plan. When it gets to this marker, we do this. When it gets to this marker, we do this. So, you don’t have to worry because you have the plan. It’s all about planning."
