The latest in a damaging succession of storm systems blew into California on Saturday, bringing heavy flooding to already waterlogged regions and threatening snowfalls of up to six feet (two meters) in areas.
SALINAS, United States – The latest in a damaging succession of storm systems blew into California on Saturday, bringing heavy flooding to already waterlogged regions and threatening snowfalls of up to six feet in areas.
It predicted “disastrous flooding” across the lower Salinas River valley, an important agricultural region south of San Francisco Bay. “This place was hit hard by the drought over the past years,” 58-year-old farmworker Manuel Paris told AFP near Salinas. “We’re not used to this much rain anymore.” “If they release water from the dams or we get more rain, we’re just a field away,” she told the San Francisco Chronicle as she collected sandbags.
Between storms, workers have rushed out to clear up some of the mess, shoveling mud from roads even in the heart of Los Angeles and using heavy machinery to remove fallen trees or clear rockslides.
