With temperatures in the 90s Tuesday in the Sacramento area, the water was raging along the North Fork of the American River thanks to fast-melting snow.
“It’s pretty high compared to the other years,” Anna Chubar said.
The raging waters are good news not only for rafters and boaters, but also for Northern California reservoirs, which are filling up fast.
Lake Shasta is 93 percent full Tuesday, thanks to a healthy snowpack. Lake Oroville is 96 percent full while Folsom Lake is 86 percent full.
