Following days of extreme winter weather that left two women dead, forced evacuations, and knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of West Coast residents, forecasters warned Friday of more life-threatening impacts from the atmospheric river and another storm through the weekend.
The first round of storms broke precipitation records in California, bringing a third of Sonoma County’s yearly rainfall average and the Russian River reached a minor flood stage at the local Hacienda Bridge. San Rosa was pummeled with 6.5 inches of rain over the last 24 hours, marking its wettest day on record since 1998.
