Preparation for the weekend storm is well underway in the Santa Cruz Mountains as residents anticipate potential mudslides, power outages and more.Across the Santa Cruz Mountains, message boards are warning drivers of wet and slippery roads as the current storm is expected to dump rain through Saturday. More wet weather is expected next week.
Thursday night brought drizzle to Boulder Creek where preparation for the incoming weather is well underway."All wood has been cut, covered with tarps. We are ready to heat the house entirely with wood. And if trees fall down and roads get stopped, we're planning on massive delays," resident Mike Skurko told ABC7 News. "It happens. Mudslides, trees down... it's living in Boulder Creek.
Lincoln has lived in the mountains for eight years. He said experience has taught him any word of inclement weather means anything can happen."I gotta worry about landslides, mudslides, trees coming down," he said. "I've had to get a camping backpack, my gas can, climb over the slides, hitchhike to town, pile up my supplies, hike back in... every two to three days."
Thursday night marked the start of the storm, and already Lincoln said, "Right now it's just slightly rockslides on my side, but on the other side there's trees and everything else coming up."
