SAN JOSE, Calif. — Tens of thousands of people woke up without power Thursday after a punishing, deadly storm that rattled the Bay Area, felling trees, closing some roadways and schools, and reportedly resulting in at least two deaths in the North Bay.
A day after the powerful atmospheric river storm roared ashore, emergency crews and residents on Thursday began assessing the damage wrought from the third such system to hit the Bay Area and Northern California in a little more than a week.
Still, even as the true toll of the storm remained unclear at daybreak Thursday, meteorologists warned that more rain was likely on the way as part of a parade of storms that could continue into next week.
