Reuters reports:
Torrential downpours and damaging winds left hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses without power in California early on Sunday as the area braced for the next onslaught of severe weather. More than 560,000 homes were reported to be still without power as of 5AM.
At least six people have died in the severe weather since New Year’s weekend, including a toddler killed by a fallen redwood tree in northern California. Forecasters have meanwhile warned yet another “atmospheric river” of dense, moist tropical air will clobber California on Monday with rain and mountain snow.
USA Today reports:
With more rain and storms to come, power companies such as Pacific Gas and Electric Co. and Southern California Edison prepared for additional outages into next week.
Continued heavy rain, coming after other massive storms hit the region on New Year’s Eve and Wednesday, will likely lead to more flash floods and mudslides, the National Weather Service says.
Saturated ground and the prospect of more strong winds could result in fallen trees, which could increase the likelihood of widespread power outages, AccuWeather said.
Cal ISO reporting over half a million residents in California are without power right now. Most of those outages appear to be in Sacramento County. See those outages here: https://t.co/ugRaaAm7mP
