0:42Now PlayingA powerful storm with hurricane-force gusts has begun to wind down after ripping across California, leaving behind power outages, flood threats and road closures just hours before another drenching is set to wash over the state.
“It’s not like this is done,” Bob Oravec, senior branch forecaster at the US Weather Prediction Center, said in an interview. “The rain reloads in Northern California tomorrow. Then there’s a big rain event Monday and Tuesday.”
The latest storm brought wind gusts of 132 miles (212 kilometers) per hour to Alpine Meadows, California in the mountains west of Lake Tahoe and triggered some evacuations in Contra Costa and Santa Cruz counties, outside San Francisco. Waves off the California coast are still reaching above 30 feet, according to the National Data Buoy Center, and are topping 13 feet near the entrance of San Francisco Bay.
“The system has reached peak intensity and it is slowly weakening today,” Oravec said.
The aftermath left more than 180,000 homes and businesses in California without power, according to poweroutage.us. Highway 1 on the scenic Big Sur coast remains closed in several spots because of downed trees and flooding, according to the state’s transportation department.
A child was killed in Sonoma County when a tree fell on a house, according to the Associated Press.
