Bands of rain with gusty winds started in the north and spread south, with more storms expected to follow into early next week, the National Weather Service said. To the south, warnings were posted for parts of counties including San Mateo and Santa Cruz, where the tiny community of Felton Grove along the San Lorenzo River was ordered evacuated. An evacuation order also was issued for residents of the Wilton area in semirural southeastern Sacramento County. Authorities cited the threat of flooding from the Cosumnes River.
“The reality is that this is just the eighth of what we anticipate will be nine atmospheric rivers —- we're not done,” Newsom said at a briefing with local leaders where he urged people to be vigilant about safety for the next 24 to 48 hours.
