Rain is moving into the Bay Area and many across the region are getting ready for a real soaking, but they are hoping storms don't bring flooding or mudslides.
Landscaper Abraham Terraza was working fast on Thursday. He's collecting leaves in and around a storm drain on Kent Avenue in Kentfield in hopes of preventing a flood.MORE:Homeowner Susan Holloway showed us the plaque on her front steps, the high-water mark for flooding back in 2005, she says she never wants history to repeat itself.
"I'm confident but we're all trying to do whatever we can to clear all the stuff away so storm drains are clear," said Holloway. The last storm brought rain and spinouts across the Bay Area. The CHP is asking drivers to play it safe this weekend when rains could be heavy. "Normally we see spinouts during wet weather, and people are still driving the same speed if not faster, we ask people to slow down," said CHP Officer Darrel Horner.
