Redwood Creek at Orick Streamgage 11482500 photo by Travis ApoAnthony 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.

Halictus ligatus female on an oxeye daisy (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum)
Halictus ligatus female on an oxeye daisy (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum)The center of the composite flower looks like a "landing zone" and has evolved to guide pollinators to its nectar/pollen.
