Another storm will impact Northern California starting Thursday morning. That event is forecast to be somewhat less impactful than the high winds and mudslides on Tuesday that caused a home to collapse in Sonoma County,

A house slid into a river in California after days of heavy rain. A mudslide caused the home to fall into the Russian River, in Forestville, California on February 4, 2025. Nobody was in the house when it crashed into the river.

The mudslide was reported at approximately 12:30 p.m. at the intersection of Westside Road and Rio Vista Road in Forestville, the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post. The house, which was unoccupied, was later spotted downstream, Wood said.

Weeks after wildfires that killed at least 29 people and destroyed entire neighborhoods, Southern California is facing another extreme-weather threat: Too much rain.

Heavy rain beginning Sunday afternoon caused some mudslides, and snow closed part of Interstate 5 near Los Angeles.

Rain is easing after Southern California’s first significant storm of the season brought weekend downpours that aided firefighters but caused ash, mud and debris to flow across streets in wildfire-burned areas.

Precipitation was lighter than expected on Wednesday, with another storm on the way Thursday night into Friday.
