Millions faced flood warnings, nearly 50,000 people were under evacuation orders, and more than 110,000 homes and businesses were without power
At least 17 people have died from storms that began late last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom said during a visit to the scenic town of Capitola on the Santa Cruz coast that was hard hit by high surf and flooding creek waters last week. The deaths included a pickup truck driver and motorcyclist killed Tuesday morning when a eucalyptus tree fell on them on Highway 99 in the San Joaquin Valley near Visalia, the California Highway Patrol said.
Rockfalls and landslides shut down roads, and gushing runoff turned sections of freeways into waterways. Swollen rivers swamped homes and residents of small communities inundated with water and mud were stranded. Mudflows dragged sheds, gazebos and outhouses into the creek, he said. After helping neighbours get to higher ground, he returned home to find his fence destroyed by waist-deep mud.Article content
