Floods
At 2:30 Sunday morning, RMRU
received a call from the Hemet office of the
Riverside County Sheriff's Department, requesting
our services in rescuing an injured man who was
trapped with several other people by rising flood
waters in the Sage area. Since the main road into
Sage was washed out, team members headed for the
mountain road that heads toward Mountain Center.
Once again rising flood waters proved to be a
problem. The San Jacinto River had washed out a
portion of the highway next to the Cranston
Bridge, which required that the highway be
closed. With the closing of the highway it was
decided that it would be safer to use a
helicopter to air lift the injured man and the
other residents out at first light.
