From SacOES:
Sac OES has issued an #evacuation order for residents living in the #PointPleasant area. #Flooding is eminent. Residents must leave now before the sun goes down affecting the ability to see flooded areas and before roadways are cut off. It is expected that the flooding from the Cosumnes River and the Mokelumne River is moving southwest toward I-5 and the Point Pleasant area is expected to be flooded in the middle of the night.
