Here at 60' above sea level, I'm safe. I really hated it when I moved from the lovely mid-town area. It was nice, but was getting too expensive, and I knew that I was leaving a flood plain and heading to higher ground - that made me feel a little better.
REALLY glad when I got my mom moved out of this area. There was a possibility of a dam break in 2019 and that would have been very scary for mom.
Oroville Dam was in 2017, was there something else since then?
Do you know what the gates on H Street (about 5800 block) are for? I am curious if it is general flooding, or problems at Folsom Dam. I lived on the second floor of an apartment in mid-town that I figured was mostly safe as long as the building didn't float off of the foundation or catch fire. I had a route planned and practiced to a three floor parking structure downtown to stash my car. Alternate was get it up on the raised section of Cap Cities Fwy. Getting to I-80 through West Sac was questionable and it has flooded near Suisun at least twice. I-5 along the river downtown was a hard no since it floods every ten to fifteen years.
