About 16 million people across central and Northern California were under flood watches early Wednesday
About 16 million people across central and Northern California, including the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento, were under flood watches early Wednesday ahead of a storm set to drench the region Thursday with dangerous amounts of rain in most of the places that currently have existing layers of heavy snow from previous brutal storms. “The combination of heavy rain and snowmelt may lead to flooding,” the Weather Prediction Center said.
Despite the removal of large amounts of snow, some roads remained closed early Wednesday. On Tuesday, volunteer helicopter pilots with the nonprofit Caldart delivered food, water and snow shovels to San Bernardino mountain residents via air due to the encumbered ground accessibility, CNN affiliate KCAL/KCBS reported.
