A Pacific storm fed by tropical moisture blasted California's capital with rain over the weekend and may have contributed to at least three deaths in the West, officials said.— a long, narrow band of moisture drawn from the tropics — with widespread flooding, the closure of a key highway and one of the deaths.
An estimated 1,600 residents who signed up for cellphone alerts received messages with evacuation orders, county spokesperson Kim Nava said. Cellphone video from the area showed multiple vehicles with water up to their windows and higher Sunday. NBC affiliateof Sacramento reported that dozens of motorists have been rescued from vehicles stranded in high waters in Sacramento County.
The cause of death and the identity of the deceased were unavailable, and the Cosumnes Fire Department did not immediately respond to a request for information.
