The threats to life and property in California brought on by the latest round of dangerous weather have been staggering. Since late December, the death toll from a line of storms has been ever-growing, with at least 18 storm-related deaths reported.
The threats extend to animals in the state as well. The Sacramento Zoo, for example, was forced to close early in the week to clean up storm damage, which included downed tree limbs that littered the facility. All animals were deemed safe by staffers.
