Storm-ravaged California scrambled to clean up and repair widespread damage on Wednesday as the lashing rain eased in many areas.
- a long plume of moisture stretching into the Pacific that can drop staggering amounts of rain and snow - has eased in some areas. Light to moderate rain with some thundershowers was forecast to arrive Wednesday in Northern California. A longer storm system was predicted to last from Friday until Jan. 17.
Damage from the storm included washed-out roads and seaside businesses flooded by 20-foot surf that pounded Santa Cruz County. Kevin Costner, best-actor winner in a television drama series for"Yellowstone," was unable to attend Tuesday's Golden Globe awards in Los Angeles because of the weather. Presenter Regina Hall said he was sheltering in place in Santa Barbara due to flooding.that all evacuation and shelter-in-place orders had been canceled.
"We're all stuck out here," Brian Briggs said, describing a scary night during which the deluge unleashed mudslides in remote Matilija Canyon that buried one house and cut off the only road to nearby Ojai. The canyon creek began to flood yards and the surrounding hills, which were stripped of vegetation in the 2017 Thomas Fire, began to tumble down in the dark.
