Thursday, January 5th, 2006 — A string of drenching weekend storms left Northern California communities with damage topping $200 million, led to two deaths and prompted Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to declare disaster areas in an additional 16 counties. Initial estimates of the flood’s impact in the city of Napa increased to $100 million, including about $45 million in damage to roads, parks and the water system. Estimates also report that 600 homes and about 150 businesses have suffered major damage.
