Sonoma County drenched by deluge that reached a peak Tuesday, raising the Russian River toward flood stage, closing dozens of roads, including HIghway 101 in Windsor, and causing mudslides, one of which sent a Forestville vacation home into the Russian River.

The mudslide was reported at approximately 12:30 p.m. at the intersection of Westside Road and Rio Vista Road in Forestville, the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post. The house, which was unoccupied, was later spotted downstream, Wood said.

The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday evening issued an evacuation order for low lying areas along the Russian River, the office announced just before 6 p.m.
