GV Wire videographer Jahz Tello spent Tuesday morning capturing the sights in the Kings River bottom below Pine Flat Dam.

As you can see from the photos below, rain and run-off created by five atmospheric rivers since Christmas are saturating the formerly drought-parched landscape.

Even with 1 million acre-foot Pine Flat Dam capturing the run-off behind its walls, the river below is rising quickly because of a relentless parade of storms. (GV Wire/Jahz Tello)
