SISKIYOU COUNTY, Calif., — For the second time in as many days, the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office has issued flash flood and potential evacuation warnings for the areas of Juniper Terrace and Rising Hill roads, in the Mount Shasta Vista Subdivision.
Today’s warnings, like similar warnings given on Tuesday after rains doused the North State region, are in response to flooding in the Whitney Creek area.
