Description
This January 1997 photograph captures a torrent of water innundating Negro Bar along the American River. By January 3, the entirety of the 23-mile-long American River Parkway had been submerged by way of the rain from New Year's storms, with the river pushing some 115,000 cubic feet of water per second westward and gophers, coyotes, rabbits, raccoons, deer and other wildlife into residential areas surrounding the river.
