Another atmospheric river is making its way toward storm-battered California
The new storm is expected to hit the state Monday, bringing heavy rain, mountain snow and threatening even more flooding to northern and central California just as the first atmospheric river is winding down, according to the National Weather Service. Atmospheric rivers consist of long, narrow bands of moisture that carry warm air and water vapor from the tropics. About 15 million people remain under flood watches in California and Nevada as the storm approached early Sunday.
“We even rescued a man floating down one of the areas in a tube with his pet on top of him,” she added. To the north, as Friday’s heavy rains pummeled Santa Cruz County, about 700 residents in Soquel got trapped after a pipe failure led to severe flooding and the collapse of the one road linking the community to the rest of the region, according to Steve Wiesner, the county’s assistant public works director.
