Wet, miserable weather is continuing across huge swaths of California as an atmospheric river that caused major flooding flowed eastward.
People walk through floodwaters in Watsonville, Calif., Saturday, March 11, 2023. Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared emergencies in 34 counties in recent weeks, and the Biden administration approved a presidential disaster declaration for some on Friday morning, a move that will bring more federal assistance.
“Definitely prepare for some more flooding impacts. The ground is very saturated. We’re already seeing some impacts from some light amounts," National Weather Service forecaster Eleanor Dhuyvetter said. “We are still in disaster response mode,” said Monterey County spokesman Nicholas Pasculli on Sunday. He said the county is staging high water rescue teams around the county and opening more shelters in anticipation of more flooding.
Because of the massive flooding over the early weekend, more than 50 people had to be rescued by first responders and the California National Guard.The extent of property damages was still uncertain but Luis Alejo, chair of the Monterey County Board of Supervisors, sought help from the state and federal governments.
