“This storm was different from the standpoint that it was here much longer. It was more intense because of the prior storm, the ground was much more saturated, which led to a lot more flooding and a lot more rescues because of the ground saturation,” said Barry Parker, division chief of the Ventura County Fire Department.
The torrential rains, along with heavy snow in mountain areas, follow yet another “atmospheric river” of dense moisture funneled into California from the tropical Pacific. Much of the damage has been concentrated around the city of Santa Barbara, about 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles, where the steep foothills slope toward the Pacific Ocean.
“Please stay home and do not drive today if at all possible,” the highway patrol advised on Twitter, posting pictures of mudslides and fallen rock that blocked the highway.
