CA needs storm help: Gov. Newsom asks for federal help as another round of powerful storms moves in. Critical forecast now on ABC7
As the first in a new series of atmospheric rivers flowed into California on Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom formally requested a presidential emergency declaration to authorize federal assistance supporting the response to the severe storms impacting the state.
Rain spread across the north by early afternoon. But forecasters said the heart of the atmospheric river wouldn't arrive until late in the day. The heaviest downpours were expected to last into early Friday, followed by lesser precipitation. The California Department of Water Resources activated its flood operations center, Director Karla Nemeth said.
Ted Craddock, deputy director of the State Water Project, expressed confidence in the 1960s-era Oroville Dam, where thousands of people had to evacuate in 2017 after heavy runoff collapsed the main spillway and the emergency spillway began to erode. Yet another atmospheric river is already in the forecast for early next week and state climatologist Michael Anderson said a third appeared to be taking shape over the Pacific and possibly a fourth.
