Northern California can’t catch a break from storms

Northern California residents hunkered down for even more flooding in rainfall after getting drenched by the third Pacific storm in less than a week. Sunday night was the last punch in a weather system that’s been pounding California for five days, and it was supposed to be the worst. The rains came with a vengeance. High winds uprooted trees and overturned trucks near San Francisco. To the east, colder temperatures turned heavy rain into snow, saving the mountain town of Truckee from the predicted flooding. California’s wine country had also braced for the worst. "The water was coming fast and furious, but the culvert system we created was able to take that extra water and take it safely through town," said Jill Techel, the mayor of Napa.
