California, reeling from a month-long string of late-winter storms, braced for another bout of heavy rains, wind and snow, while most of New York state and New England girded for a powerful Nor’easter. | Reuters
The National Weather Service posted flood watches for much of the state, along with warnings for gale-force winds and extensive uprootings of trees.
The rainfall was likely to hasten the melting of snow left on the ground from recent blizzards in mid-level mountain areas, adding to heavy runoff and flood hazards downstream, as it did over the weekend, forecasters said. Nine atmospheric rivers lashed California in rapid succession from late December through mid-January, triggering widespread flooding, levee failures, mudslides and punishing surf. At least 20 people perished.The 10th atmospheric river system of the season struck on Thursday and Friday, sending rivers and creeks spilling over their banks in several low-lying areas, most notably along central California’s coast.
“It’s sad for all of the people who live there. You lose everything,” Rangel told Reuters at an evacuation center in nearby Watsonville.
