California, especially the northern part of the state, has been dealing with weeks of nearly non-stop rain. The ground is super-saturated and can't hold additional water so now rivers are rising to flood stage. Today rain is falling statewide but the focus is on Northern California where evacuations and rescues are underway. In Santa Cruz County water has reached stop sign height in at least one area. Other areas like along Sonoma County's Russian River residents are on standby to be ready to go. It will be a full week of rain.
