Folsom Residents Forced To Work Around Flooded Streets, Possibly Derailing Santa's Plans

FOLSOM (CBS13) — Residents in Folsom were forced to find alternate ways to get around town after a powerful winter storm dropped enough rain to bring flooding concerns over the weekend.

Walkers, joggers and bikers who use Sibley Road as a path for exercise had to find another route as it is shut down near Blue Ravine Road. Nearby Willow Creek can't contain the stormwater. No businesses or homes nearby are threatened.

But the flooding may slow down Santa. That's because the Placerville and Sacramento Valley Railroad wants to escort Santa and some kids across the tracks in a special train, but that's flooded too.

Sibley was reopened on Friday, but Folsom Police may have to close it if levels rise again.
