More on the Reno flooding



The flooded Truckee River runs over
Wingfield Park in downtown Reno on
Saturday after heavy rains fell.

skadi's report from late last night...
It appears the worst is over, but many road closures still ongoing. We are expecting freezing temps tonight, snow expected tomorrow night.

definitely not the best way to welcome the new year...
Rains from a Pacific storm pummeled the region Saturday, causing widespread flooding in Reno, Sparks and Carson City.

The relentless storm crippled travel on Interstate 80, created power outages and forced the evacuation of homes from Lockwood to Dayton. Reno officials postponed New Year's Eve fireworks in downtown until tonight.

Creeks and irrigation ditches overflowed as the Truckee River's brown currents turned into whitecaps, submerging portions of Reno and Sparks. The flooding was the worst to hit the area since January 1997.
