A powerful storm has roared ashore in Northern California, flooding highways, toppling trees and causing mud flows in areas burned bare by recent fires as forecasters predict record-breaking rainfall. Up to 8 inches of rain could hit higher elevations.

“We have already had several collisions this morning for vehicles hydroplaning, numerous trees falling, and several roadways that are experiencing flooding,” tweeted the highway patrol’s office in Oroville. “If you can stay home and off the roads today, please do. If you are out on the roads, please use extreme caution.”

“If you are in the vicinity of a recent burn scar and haven’t already, prepare now for likely debris flows,” the Sacramento weather service tweeted. “If you are told to evacuate by local officials, or you feel threatened, do not hesitate to do so. If it is too late to evacuate, get to higher ground.”

Strong winds were also expected, with gusts of up to 60 mph at the windiest spots in Northern California. Elevations above 9,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada could get 18 inches of snow or more from Sunday until Monday morning.

Luca31404488 The rain is over for now, blue skies. No flooding around me. Hopefully there will be more and hopefully the rain we received gets absorbed into the aquifers.

Mondiablue To all those people with naive ideas about cures for the drought and storing water in pots n pans. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Mondiablue Take care California. You’re not used to this!

هبت عاصفة قوية على شواطئ في شمال كاليفورنيا ، وأغرقت الطرق السريعة ، واقتلعت الأشجار وتسببت في تدفق الطين في المناطق التي نشبت بها الحرائق الأخيرة ، حيث توقع خبراء الأرصاد هطول الأمطار بشكل قياسي. ويمكن لما يصل إلى 8 بوصات أن تضرب مناطق اكثر ارتفاعا.

15 years ago, it was just called a 'fall storm' and was as normal as the tide.

Let’s make sure to strip the infrastructure bill of the green stuff tho….totally makes sense

paullewismoney Is there anyone who still thinks we're not living in the end of days?

Geez! Capture &channel as much of that water as possible into lakes & reservoirs! That’s a big opportunity for water in a drought-stricken state.

Yikes

I hope people in California are diverting the water to their reservoirs or collecting it in buckets for the next drought that is bound to happen.

And filling reservoirs. Take the good with the bad, folks….
