Flash Flood Watch in North Central California

I was watching the weather radar and Chico and Paradise are being hit pretty hard by the rain storm right now. It's hard to say what will happen next of whether it will be manageable or not.

This could quickly become a dangerous situation. Residents,
emergency responders, persons traveling within the burn area
should remain alert and take action should heavy rain develop.
A flash flood watch for a burn area means that conditions may
develop that lead to flash floods, rockslides, and/or debris
flows.
