Flooding claimed the life of a Sonoma County driver near the Russian River town of Rio Nido.
Water covers lanes of the Oakland Maze connector to eastbound Highway 24, Friday afternoon, Nov. 22, 2024, in Oakland, Calif.The Bay Area will be draining, recovering and drying out on Sunday, following a powerful atmospheric river that pummeled the region with rain and wind, killing a man in Sonoma County floodwaters.
Gusty winds knocked down trees and power lines in the Oakland hills, interrupting power to about 1,000 customers. In Los Altos, Foothill Expressway was closed on Saturday morning while a large fallen tree at the Loyola Bridge was cleared. National Weather Service calls that a 1-in-1,000-year event. While no one recorded a downpour in the year 1024, models calculate that there’s only 0.1% chance of getting that much rain.
“After the first rain, the salmon have made it to Campbell Avenue,” near Los Gatos Creek Park, where they were seen jumping, said Mike Tamaro of the South Bay Clean Creeks Coalition.
