Storms over the last week have killed at least six people, including three who drowned near Sacramento and a toddler who was killed in Sonoma County.
The latest in a series of atmospheric river storms pummeled Northern California on Thursday, toppling trees, battering the coastline and swelling rivers and streams into furious torrents as residents braced for more intense weather set to arrive in the near future.
That one-two punch will only add to what’s been a soaking start to the year. Downtown San Francisco has already recorded its wettest 10-day period since 1871. “A lot of them are just worried about finding a safe spot, because when there’s flooding, even if you’re homeless, you lose your home,” she said. “We had one couple who lost their tent, their bikes, everything. They have nothing.”
At the base of the San Lorenzo River, huge swells carried surfers upriver, below the railroad trestle and toward downtown. Videos of the scene show torrents of water surging into seaside homes and businesses that had been boarded up in advance of the storm. Aisha Tocchini stands at the site where her 2-year-old son, Aeon Tocchini, was killed by a fallen redwood tree.
