One small child was killed when a rain-soaked redwood tree fell on his home in Sonoma County during the heavy rains – and others across Northern California died in car crashes and in floods, officials said.
Flooding in Sacramento County; one driver found submerged in car
Footage released by the California Department of Transportation shows flooding on Highway 99, which was closed between Grant Line and Twin Cities Road on Jan. 2, 2023. Throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, the storm dumped rain throughout the region, but most heavily in the North Bay along the Russian River and further south in Santa Cruz County, where many were evacuated. Powerful winds gusting to 85 mph or more forced the cancellation of more than 70 flights at San Francisco International Airport and downed trees and power lines. Firefighters rescued a family after a tree fell onto their car.
More than 180,000 homes and businesses were without power in California early Thursday, according to poweroutage.us.
