California braces for another onslaught of rain, snow after massive floods
on Sunday as an atmospheric river that caused major flooding flowed eastward and makes way for another onslaught of rain and snow – accompanied by strong gusts – that could yet again pummel the beleaguered region as soon as Monday night.
“Definitely prepare for some more flooding impacts. The ground is very saturated. We’re already seeing some impacts from some light amounts even today,” National Weather Service forecaster Eleanor Dhuyvetter said Sunday. Across Monterey County, more than 8,500 people were evacuated Saturday, including roughly 1,700 residents _ many of them Latino farmworkers _ from the unincorporated community of Pajaro.The atmospheric river, known as a “Pineapple Express” because it brought warm subtropical moisture across the Pacific from near Hawaii, was melting lower parts of the huge snowpack built in California’s mountains.
“The need will be great! Will take months for our residents to repair homes!” he wrote in a tweet Saturday.Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared emergencies in 34 counties in recent weeks, and the Biden administration approved a presidential disaster declaration for some on Friday morning, a move that will bring more federal assistance. President Joe Biden spoke with Newsom on Saturday to pledge the federal government’s support in California’s response to the emergency, the White House said.
Officials had been working along the levee in the hopes of shoring it up when it was breached around midnight Friday into Saturday. Crews began working to fix the levee around daybreak Saturday as residents slept in evacuation centers.This week’s storm marked the state’s 10th atmospheric river of the winter, storms that have brought enormous amounts of rain and snow to the state and helped lessen the drought conditions that had dragged on for three years.
