Rain causes mudlslide in Tiburon
Recent rain has caused the backyard of a Tibruon home to slide down a hill.

TIBURON, Calif. (KGO) -- Another storm moved into water-logged California on Tuesday with the potential to create more flooding and trigger mudslides.

The evening commute was wet in the San Francisco Bay Area and elsewhere in Northern California, with the rain expected to continue through Wednesday.

In Marin County, Tiburon got more rain than it could handle Tuesday morning. Residents are now trying to divert unwanted water away from a nail salon in the downtown area, town hall, and an intersection.

"These guys got hit the hardest as opposed to us we skirted everything didn't really get too much damage at all. You just kind of lend a hand where you can," said Tiburon resident Steve Dorward.

Neighbors of the nail salon on Tiburon Boulevard rushed over when they saw six inches of water invading the business. The landlord says the business owner just remodeled.

Neighbors created a pump to clear the water out before the business owner even showed up to see the damage.

"They're nice neighbors too. They would do the same for us," said Dorward.
