“Our rivers, streams and creeks are flowing at near capacity. Any more rain that we get today is only going to cause more flooding or worsen the flooding that is ongoing,” said Bill South, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Hanford, California.
The bulk of evacuation orders, covering some 12,000 people, were in Tulare County, a flood-stricken region in the San Joaquin Valley, where high water from recent levee breaches has inundated a number of communities, Crofts-Pelayo said. “The system exceeded all expectations,” the utility company Pacific Gas and Electric said in a statement on its website, noting that winds of 89 mph were clocked in Santa Clara County.
