MONTECITO — Relentless storms ravaged California again Tuesday (Jan 10), the latest destructive episode in weeks of extreme weather that have left at least 16 people dead and sparked havoc over a wide area.
Torrential downpours caused flash flooding, closed key highways, toppled trees and swept away drivers and passengers — including a five-year-old-boy who remains missing in central California — with even more rain and snow set to batter America's most populous state.
The NWS described an"endless onslaught of atmospheric river events" that is the most powerful storm system since 2005. "That's the price of living in such a beautiful place, when it rains like this, it causes a lot of destruction." Heavy rains in January 2018 sent torrents of mud and rock crashing into the town in a tragedy that left 23 people dead."Over the last 30 days, Montecito has received 12-20+ inches of rain across the community, exceeding our yearly average of 17 inches," Montecito Fire said on Twitter.
The child, who fled with his mother from their car as it was inundated by flood waters, has not been declared dead. The mother was rescued. Swathes of the Golden State were under flood warnings as it struggled to cope with yet more rain on top of near-record downpours in recent weeks — with even more forecast over the coming days.
