​The RĂo Guadalfeo has reached critical levels due to massive snowmelt and rain in the high Sierra. The river has fully reclaimed the bed and is extremely dangerous.
​Bank Erosion and Cracks
The river is actively eroding the banks. Check your land for new cracks in the soil; these are urgent warning signs that the ground is about to collapse. If you are on a lower terrace, the ground can undercut even if the water has not reached your door yet!!!
​The Night Surge
The river often peaks late in the evening or at night when the daytime mountain melt reaches the valley.
Do not be fooled by a calm afternoon!
​Safety and Roads
Stay away from river terraces and all low-lying points.
Roads and mountain passes are highly unstable; landslides and rockfalls are occurring now. Avoid driving or walking near cliffs or steep slopes.
​Stay Alert
If the water turns thick and dark brown, or if you feel vibrations and hear a deep rolling sound (boulders moving), move to higher ground immediately.
