The mudslide was reported at approximately 12:30 p.m. at the intersection of Westside Road and Rio Vista Road in Forestville, the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post. The house, which was unoccupied, was later spotted downstream, Wood said.

A house was swept into the Russian River by a mudslide in Forestville near the Forest Hills Bridge Tuesday afternoon as an atmospheric river battered Northern California.

Sonoma County drenched by deluge that reached a peak Tuesday, raising the Russian River toward flood stage, closing dozens of roads, including HIghway 101 in Windsor, and causing mudslides, one of which sent a Forestville vacation home into the Russian River.
