As of Monday afternoon, at least 14 people in California have died because of storms -- 'more lives than wildfires in the past two years combined,' Gov. Gavin Newsom's office said
President Joe Biden on Monday approved a measure to support California's efforts to respond to the storms that for weeks have whacked the state like cascading dominoes.And while storm-battered parts of central and Northern California will see some respite early Tuesday, it will be short-lived, forecasters say.
Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown asked county residents to shelter in place Monday evening as travel became a nightmare with rockslides, flooded roads and closed highways. Also on the central coast, in San Luis Obispo County, authorities urged residents south of the Arroyo Grande Creek Levee to evacuate to higher ground immediately Monday evening.
That included several people who were clinging to branches of floodwater-surrounded trees. Rescuers helped those people get onto and climb a ladder to a bridge above, video tweeted Monday by the fire department shows. Parts of downtown Los Angeles have already seen between 1 to 3 inches of rainfall, with the higher elevations around the city seeing 2 to 5 inches by early Tuesday.
