President Joe Biden has arrived in California for his visit to tour areas impacted by the recent severe storms. The latest on his visit:
Ahead of Biden's trip to California, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell spoke to the press at a gaggle aboard Air Force One Thursday.Since before the new year, Criswell said California experienced nine atmospheric rivers, which she describes as rivers in the sky that bring heavy rainfall.
The administrator was on the ground in Santa Cruz and Merced Counties last weekend to assess the damage. She said residents described the storm conditions as having"hurricane-strength winds" and"incredible storm surge-like conditions" on the shore. They said it felt as thought the communities were being"hit with hurricane after hurricane."
State parks and tourism-related small business were also impacted in Santa Cruz County, she said, adding that she saw at least 500 impacted homes in the area.
