Monday, January 9th, 2017 — Stranded motorists were pulled from cars stuck on flooded Northern California roads as thunderstorms arrived Sunday as part of a massive winter storm that could be the biggest to slam the region in more than a decade. The massive storm is expected to bring massive amounts of rainfall and tropical storm-force winds from the coast inland to Nevada. The extent of injuries from the storm is not yet clear, but officials said at least one woman was killed by a falling tree amid high winds.
CBS San Francisco reports the woman was killed by the falling tree while walking on a San Ramon golf course on Saturday.
