MOFFETT FEDERAL AIRFIELD, California - US President Joe Biden arrived in California on Thursday to tour areas hit hard by a series of deadly “atmospheric river” storms that inflicted widespread flooding, felled trees and brought mudslides to a state long gripped by extreme drought.
The itinerary called for at least two stops along the Santa Cruz coast, where flash floods, extreme tides and runoff from local mountains forced thousands of residents to evacuate from low-lying communities. Experts say the growing frequency and intensity of such storms, punctuating extreme drought, are symptoms of climate change and make it more difficult to manage California’s precious water supplies while minimizing heightened risks of floods and wildfires.
The onslaught of showers - and heavy snow in the mountains - was accompanied by gale-force winds that drove pounding surf into coastal areas, washing out seaside roads and wharfs and uprooting thousands of drought-weakened trees in rain-soaked soil.
