Storm Rakes California Floods Hit West Coast States
A Pacific storm battered California with heavy rain and gale winds from Tuesday night into Wednesday, inundating rivers and creeks and triggering widespread flooding. West Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley endured the worst, with more than 60 schools closed and families fleeing waist-deep floodwaters. Highways and railroads suffered slides and closures from Humboldt to Santa Cruz, while the Eel, Russian, and Sacramento River basins faced flooding threats. Police closed 174th Street indefinitely as crews battled slides near the Eel River and Northwest storm warnings persisted along the coast as another storm loomed.
