Redwood Creek at Orick Streamgage 11482500 photo by Travis Apo
Detailed Description
Anthony Smith photo cred. Redwood Cr at Orick, 11482500. Under 101 bridge and is also the measuring section. Provisional peak was 42,700 cfs. Looks to be the highest peak since 1975. NWS had concerns of levee capacity that night. At the gage, highwater mark which exceeded CSG's, looked to be roughly 8 ft from top of levee. NWS called the next week and they had found downriver a location that was likely 5 ft or so from topping the levee.
