The city of South Lake Tahoe is battling severe flooding and structure collapses as the atmospheric river continues pummeling Tahoe Basin.
"What the F is going on, did you just see that? It went flump," said tourist Vicki Herbert. "I'm a little worried the roof is going to go, showmp!"
"That's the concern with the incoming rain coming atop that snow, we're doubling and tripling a lot of that weight," said Jim Drennan, South Lake Tahoe's fire chief."Is this double threat, the worst you've seen it?" ABC7's Stephanie Sierra asked. "When it failed, it crashed into the gas pumps, and we had a gasoline-fed fire," said Drennan. "No injuries of any kind but that property has been red-tagged."
It is a reality for the region as these snow mounts start melting, flooding out residential streets and the city's airport runway.The city is cautioning against unnecessary travel for the next several weeks as the Basin struggles through the snowmelt.
