Flooding also closed State Route 211 at Fernbridge, North Bank Road in McKinleyville, parts of State Route 36 and numerous other roads and streets from the northern reaches to the southern portions of the county, including around Jacoby Creek. Humboldt Bay Fire reported at least one rescue in the Freshwater area of Felt Road, where crews were able to reach a family trapped by flood waters by foot but were “unable to evacuate the family safely,” with the sheriff’s office instead sending in a small rescue boat, according to a Facebook post.
