Storm-battered Northern California gets a brief break Sunday morning before more wind and rain arrive, raising flooding concerns, causing power outages and making travel dangerous.
To the south, warnings were posted for parts of counties including San Mateo and Santa Cruz, where the community of Felton Grove along the San Lorenzo River was ordered evacuated.The swollen Salinas River swamped farmland in Monterey County, and to the east, flood warnings were in effect for Merced County in the agricultural Central Valley, where Gov. Gavin Newsom visited to take stock of storm problems.
"The reality is that this is just the eighth of what we anticipate will be nine atmospheric rivers —- we're not done," Newsom said at a briefing with local leaders where he urged people to be vigilant about safety for the next 24 to 48 hours. "This is happening all across California but I want to say ... you guys are disproportionately taking the brunt of it, and if you feel that way you're right," Newsom said.
President Joe Biden declared a major disaster in the state and ordered federal aid to supplement local recovery efforts in affected areas.
