Some of our most familiar routes can be deathtraps with a little bit of floodwater. Officials are reminding the public that it’s never safe to walk or drive through flood waters, as just a few inches is enough to wash a person or a car away. Flooded roads in Shasta County can be reported to Public Works at 530-225-5661. Clogged storm drains in Redding can be reported to 530-224-6068 anytime. Downed power lines should be reported to 9-1-1.
