After years of drought, California is in a long flood fight as waves of storms roll in off the Pacific, killing at least 14 people, closing highways up and down the state and sending residents fleeing for their lives.
“California is experiencing coincidentally a drought emergency and a flood emergency,” said Department of Water Resources Director Karla Nemeth during a media briefing Monday. By 4 p.m. local time Monday the state had opened a dozen emergency shelters for those told to evacuate, including in Santa Cruz County, about 75 miles south of San Francisco, where the San Lorenzo River rose 17.7 feet since Sunday. Levels on the river probably have peaked but there will be another round of intense rain, said Daniel Swain, a climatologist at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Heavy rain started falling Sunday night in many regions, and just less than 100,000 people were without power as the sun went down Monday in California, according to PowerOutage.us. That’s down from more than 500,000 on Sunday after an earlier storm over the weekend.
