Rainbow Falls

[Jay Bondesen]

So far no one has contradicted the "never happened before" comment in my first post so it can't be considered normal. Google shows it to be a pretty small watershed with several tributaries feeding into the river. In Northern CA there are a few rivers that are entirely spring fed with water running through lava deposits from Mt. Lassen 50 miles away. This subsurface water would continue to flow for quite some time without rainfall. With our topography the rivers here aren't surface runoff or with the short distances they would always be starting and stopping. I also wonder if it may have found a new outlet, some old lava tube taking it somewhere else.
