Any of you guys worried at all about ash coming down the river from the Twitchell fire and making it to Yuba?
Clear Creek was running thick and black yesterday. More rain last night and today means more, and more ash coming down the mountain and into the Sevier River.
I know it's a long way, and i know the Sevier is a pretty low gradient river (slow) -- so most should settle out. But, this isn't exactly your typical rain storm we're seeing down here right now, and it isn't done raining yet. That's a lot of water to dump on some barren, black, fish-killing soot!
FWIW -- Clear Creek is gone. The fish can't survive that.
