State transportation officials said Friday they removed so much snow from the roadways in February that it would be enough to fill the iconic Rose Bowl 100 times.
Hundreds of people in a Northern California agricultural community were forced to flee their homes early Saturday after the Pajaro River's levee was breached by flooding from a new atmospheric river pummeling the state.
Alejo called the flooding “massive,” saying it has impacted Pajaro's 1,700 residents and the damage will take months to repair. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared emergencies in 34 counties in recent weeks, and the Biden administration approved a presidential disaster declaration for some on Friday morning, a move that will bring more federal assistance.
The snowpack at high elevations is so massive it was expected to be able to absorb the rain, but snow below 4,000 feet could start to melt, potentially contributing to flooding, forecasters said.
