Intense downpours that lashed Northern California on Wednesday pushed some rivers toward flood stage, prompting a string of evacuations from towns along the Russian River to communities in Santa Cruz County and beyond.
A powerful winter storm that blasted Northern California with strong winds and heavy rain, knocking out power, toppling trees, including one that killed a toddler, and flooding homes and businesses along the coast in Santa Cruz will continue its march through the region Thursday.
Forecasters are keeping watch over flooding triggered by massive waves along the coast and in inland areas where water continues to rise along creeks, streams and rivers. Another series of storms is expected to hit the region over the weekend, bringing the potential for more strong winds and heavy rain.An atmospheric river is expected to bring washed-out roads, collapsed hillsides, possibly full groves of downed trees and more to California.
When Emma Simpkins, 23, an employee at the Picnic Basket near the Santa Cruz Wharf, arrived at the restaurant with her co-worker around 6:30 a.m., waves were breaking all the way up to the sidewalk. By noon, the tide was receding along Santa Cruz’s coast line. The waves were still big, however — pounding into the cliffs along West Cliff Drive, which was closed because of high surf and erosion concerns.
