The blast of extreme winter weather marked the third atmospheric river to strike California since early last week.SACRAMENTO — A massive Pacific storm unleashed high winds, torrential rains and heavy snow across California for a second day on Thursday , knocking out power to tens of thousands of homes and threatening much of the state with flash flooding and mudslides.
The National Weather Service predicted widespread rainfall of one inch per hour, with snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Southern California's coastal ranges falling at the rate of three inches an hour, making road travel treacherous. Hazardous surf warnings were in effect for the state's three northernmost coastal counties — Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte — where three-storey waves pounded the shoreline and crashed over beaches.A tree that crashed onto a home overnight killed a one-year-old baby boy, and a 19-year-old woman died when her car skidded off a partially flooded road into a utility pole on Wednesday.
"This was one of the most powerful winter storms to hit our region in years," PG&E spokesperson Megan McFarland said in an email to Reuters. A short drive farther up the coast at Noyo Harbour in Fort Bragg, professional urchin diver Grant Downie said he moved his boat out of the water ahead of the storm as a precaution.
Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency on Wednesday, and state officials urged Californians to avoid travel.
