A combination of torrential rain, violent flooding, and powerful wind in California has killed at least 14 people since Sunday, led to evacuation orders for tens of thousands of people, and left more than 150,000 electric customers without power
combination of torrential rain, violent flooding, and powerful wind in California has killed at least 14 people since Sunday, led to evacuation orders for tens of thousands of people, and left more than 150,000 electric customers without power.
It can take weeks for authorities to fully clear and drain fallen debris and pools of water that block highways and streets. Californians should “be prepared to evacuate and definitely heed those notices,” Doll says. “If you’re driving and you come across a flooded roadway, do not drive through it, because you don’t know how deep the water is. You don’t know even if there’s a road under that water.
“What tends to happen is when you get runoff, creeks and rivers start to fill up and then you get more heavy rain,” Doll says. Heavy rainfall will likely return over the weekend and could damage vulnerable infrastructure and impede ongoing rescue efforts. On Monday, President Biden issued an emergency declaration to dole out aid and relief efforts in more than a dozen affected counties.
