While Tuesday's storm system caused damage across the Bay Area, few regions were hit as hard as the Santa Cruz mountains.

"So we had to go in through a back window, and she was trapped under tree limbs," Dallman said of the rescue."They had to extricate her. She had a head injury and broken ribs. We had to bring her out on a ladder, tied to a ladder." Going into town meant walking about a half a mile through a road closure where crews are still working to remove trees and restore utilities.
