Man Paddleboards Down Rising Truckee River in Reno

A man was filmed on Sunday, January 8, paddleboarding down the Truckee River in downtown Reno, Nevada, as the river neared flood stage.

The city braced for heavy rainfall over the weekend, which added to the already healthy snowpack in the Sierra mountains. Forecasters predicted the river would flood on Sunday, prompting Washoe County officials to declare a state of emergency in the county, reported the Reno Gazette Journal.
